Canada Rethinks F-35 Fighter Deal Amid Rising Tensions with Washington
Canada is reconsidering one of its most expensive defence decisions as questions grow over its planned purchase of F-35 fighter jets. The move comes amid rising political tensions with Washington, mounting cost concerns, and a broader debate over sovereignty and long-term military strategy.
The F 35 is not just another aircraft. It plays a central role in North American air defence and NATO interoperability. Any shift in Canada's position could have serious implications for continental security and the future of joint defence operations with the United States.
