The Democrats will probably cancel it anyway.

“The Democrats will probably cancel it anyway.”

I hope they do. Major defense items should be American made through and through, with American suppliers. This is a national security issue. If France gets in a snit and decides to withhold spare parts because they don’t like our foreign policy, what then?

The Northrop entry is nothing but a re-badged Airbus. Almost all the parts will still be made in Europe. Northop is basically just slapping their name on it to better sell it to Congress. Meanwhile, we twist a dagger into the back of yet another domestic defense supplier in favor of European firms.

Hell yes. Overturn this.
