Spare parts for Canada's F-35 fleet will be controlled by the U.S.
ottawacitizen.comI wonder if this is to sweeten the annexation deal...
No, it's the standard procedure for F35 parts supplied to allied countries. Which is why it's a bit of an issue in the current political context.
But a U.S. Government Accountability Office report in 2023 revealed the rules governing the F-35 parts. The report noted that the parts are the property of the U.S. government until they are installed on another nation’s aircraft.
What annexation deal?
The one Trump is hinting when he calls the Canadian Prime Minister "Governor".
But other than "the US invades Ontario", what is the "deal" supposed to be?
That’s not a real “deal.”
Canada made it clear today they’re not for sale.
I guess you may call it an offer then.
