F-35 was shown by NATO land, the US ray transaction was found in the ground, replied to Donald Trump's pride!

Last updated: 07 August 2025, 07:05 IST Spain F 35 JET: Spain refused to buy America’s F-35 fighter aircraft. The NATO countries do not like F-35. Spain will now focus on European defense equipment. Spain US F35 Deal: America had another important setback for its most advanced and most expensive fighter F-35. Now the reliable partner of NATO is also back from buying this aircraft. The leading newspaper ‘El Paes’ of Spain quoted government resources, saying that the agreement of the F-35 fighter plane of US company Lockheed Martin was canceled. This is a matter of concern for America, because F-35 is considered the latest fighter jet in the world, but now the number of countries that buy it is constantly declining. In 2023, Spain catered to about $ 7.24 billion for new fighter jets in its defense budget. It was believed that this amount would be used for the purchase of high-tech aircraft such as F-35. But this year, Spain’s plan to spend the additional 10.5 billion euros for the defense sector in Europe has changed the whole picture. The government made it clear that it would focus on European defense equipment rather than US aircraft. This decision made America’s expectations. Spain’s Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez responded to the threat of tariff. Earlier this year, GDP target was promised 2% of NATO to fulfill defensive spending. But during the NATO conference held in June, he refused to increase the expenses by 5%. US President Donald Trump was furious about this. Trump warned Spain that if he did not increase the spending on defense, additional fees would be imposed on his goods. Trump’s threat became the reason for further confirmation of Spain’s decision. This new shock to the US makes Spain move not only for America, but also for Lockheed Martin. The F-35 program is already under the circle of criticism due to increasing costs and technical defects. Recently, a fighter plane crashed in America. On the other hand, the F-35 of the British Navy in India stood for more than a month. The face of NATO’s fellow countries is now questioning the credibility of America. Spain’s Ministry of Defense and Lockheed Martin have not yet commented on the issue.
