Isn't this basically calling for Xi to send J-35 5th generation multi-role stealth fighter to the US?
he said expensive jet should be twin engine. a twin engine version of F-35 would have been unacceptable for Europe.
Trump already pointing it out.

When we build the F-35, we have the wings built in one country, we have the tail rudders built in another country. We have the seats built in another country. We have the electronics built in seven different countries," said the former president at a luncheon at the Economic Club of New York.

"What the hell would we do if there's a war, and we'll end up fighting half of those countries, and we don't want to have a war, because right now, we're closer to World War III than we've ever been in our lives," he said.

At least four people have been recovered and were rushed to hospitals. A frantic search to find crash victims in the river is underway

I think NBC made a fuck up. Clicking that link again now only shows

“A frantic search to find crash victims in the river is underway”

The first sentence was completely deleted.

CNN reports no survivors.

Two law enforcement sources and a source familiar with the situation confirm that no survivors had been recovered at this point.

Trump evidently doesn't appreciate that the whole point of making JSF an international program with globalised production arrangements was to suffocate alternative development and procurement programs, fattening the profits of Lockheed Martin and ultimately giving Trump the power to ground the Danish Air Force on a whim.

If all F-35 components were produced in the United States, then parallel production of those components outside the United States for non-US customers would no longer be economically viable, which would in turn lead partner nations with the requisite engineering expertise (or ambition to develop it) to seek alternative procurement and development pathways that better support their own strategic-industrial objectives, undermining the profits of Lockheed Martin and eventually creating competing platforms that Washington does not control. Indeed, we have already seen how Turkey's ejection from the F-35 program turbocharged that nation's own aerospace ambitions. That F-35 partner nations do not have sovereign control over their aircraft also appears to be one of the major drivers behind the UK and Japanese commitment to GCAP.

I can see it now. China will democratize sex robots and flood the market with $500 models. Americans will overthrow their government when they try to ban them for national security. Then China will give every American a free robot as a reward.

This is how the West and India will be extinguished.
This is in fact the background story of a Japanese anime.
