What to watch: Trump vs. Canada, Saudi F-35s, new naval tech
President Donald Trump has again come out swinging in a Truth Social post — this time against the Canadian aerospace industry in retaliation for the country’s delayed certification of US-made Gulfstream jets for use in Canada. On a new episode of The Weekly Break Out, Editor-in-Chief Aaron Mehta and Deputy Editor Lee Ferran flag how the heated rivalry could affect America’s militarized variants of Canada’s Bombardier airframes.
Then, they look ahead to two major conferences: World Defense Show in Saudi Arabia, where new details of the kingdom’s push to own the F-35 could emerge, and WEST 2026, the annual naval expo that brings together ships and information technology in California. Stay tuned for coverage from both shows.
