Just on the surface, WHY would a nation that is having its sovereignty threatened by the US, go ahead and purchase fighter jets, knowing that the US has embedded a *”Kill Switch”* in critical functions and would deny Canada from buying parts or weaponry???????
Sure, it’s an damaging blow in terms of lost revenue, but the bigger picture is that this is not the kind of thing Canada should be buying from an untrustworthy nation.
The first batch of 16 are almost surely going to be purchased but the balance of the order is unlikely.
This is the nuances that this administration doesn’t understand. SURE the EU has a higher tariff on US auto. But:
1. EU and its individuals and sovereign wealth funds put billions and trillions of money in the US stock market as a safe investment.
2. They purchase other US company products. ie $LMT F35s. Give subsidies to $INTC for semiconductor chips; etc.
3. Nevermind. MAGA is the same group that believe prices will go down after 1 day.
Carryon.
