Is this more about trying to keep Boeing afloat and maintain some competition in the US fighter jet market, cos it’s surely not about current contract performance… Tankers late and off-spec, AF1 replacement late and over budget, T7 Red Hawk running late… feels like a subsidy to me!

When we really need drones ? Contracts should
Be withheld if doors are falling off Boeing planes - doncha think ? And same goes for those SpaceX rocket explosions !!?

“Our allies are constantly calling they want to but them” Trumps muses. Who are these allies it must be Russia and North Korea as they have no allies anymore anywhere else.
