The Spanish government has reportedly abandoned plans to purchase the US-made F-35 fighter jet, instead focusing on European options like the Eurofighter and the FCAS (Future Combat Aircraft System) project. The decision follows the suspension of preliminary F-35 negotiations and a shift in the defense budget, with €10.5 billion now directed towards European defense initiatives. This move comes amid tensions between Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez and US President Donald Trump over military spending commitments.
