There’s a lot of outstanding orders for F35s from EU countries. No idea if it is possible to weasel out of them, and if the sunk cost wouldn’t be too high to make it politically viable…
It’s weird, but Trump might do irreversible damage to the US MIC.

The French learned their lesson here and its paying off!
