Canada's F-35 EXIT? Carney's New Fighter Jet Move Proves Trump Is Incompetent

Canada's F-35 EXIT? Carney's New Fighter Jet Move to GCAP Proves Trump Is Incompetent. Canada news today: Mark Carney opens a new fighter jet option beyond the USA. The order for 88 American F-35 fighter jets still stands for now. But Ottawa has opened a new defence path by joining the Global Combat Air Program as an observer alongside the United Kingdom, Japan, and Italy. The program is developing a sixth-generation fighter jet targeted for 2035. Could this become Canada’s alternative to the F-35? And could the Gripen be only one of several options now being considered by Mark Carney’s government? As Washington continues pushing Canada to remain inside the US defence system, Ottawa is exploring new partnerships, new technologies, and more room to make independent decisions. Canada’s fighter-jet debate is becoming part of a much larger shift toward defence diversification and reduced dependence on the United States. We examine what Canada’s observer status really means, whether this could eventually end the F-35 deal, and how Canada’s growing partnerships with Britain, Japan, Italy, Sweden, and other allies could change the future of Canadian defence.
