<h1>European and Canadian Governments Reconsider U.S. Fighter Jets Amid Policy Shifts; Exploring Alternatives Like Saab Gripen.</h1> European and Canadian governments are reconsidering their reliance on American-made fighter jets like the F-35 due to recent shifts in U.S. foreign policy under President Donald Trump. Concerns about the U.S.'s commitment to NATO and potential coercion tactics have prompted countries like Canada and Portugal to explore alternatives such as the Saab Gripen, Eurofighter Typhoon, and Dassault Rafale. This shift could impact the sales of U.S. defense companies like Lockheed Martin. European leaders, including French President Emmanuel Macron, are advocating for increased investment in European defense manufacturing to reduce dependency on U.S. technology.
