Spain's defense ministry has announced it is no longer considering the purchase of F-35 fighter jets, opting instead for the Eurofighter and the Future Combat Air System (FCAS). The Spanish government has earmarked €6.25 billion for new fighter jets, and the defense budget has made it impossible to buy the American planes. Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has announced plans to increase defense spending but has been criticized by Donald Trump for his stance.
