Trump's tariff war hits US F-35 hard: Spain cancels deal, India declines and Switzerland wavers
Trump's trade war impacts US defence exports, with Spain and Switzerland reconsidering F-35 purchases. Spain opts for European alternatives, while Swiss political resistance grows due to tariffs. Read here read more A Lockheed Martin F-35 fighter jet performs during the International Aerospace Exhibition ILA on the opening day at Schoenefeld Airport in Berlin, Germany June 5, 2024. REUTERS The escalating trade war unleashed by US President Donald Trump is beginning to reverberate through Washington's own defence exports, with America's flagship fighter jet programme, the Lockheed Martin F-35 taking a direct hit. In Europe, Spain has formally shelved plans to buy the US-made stealth fighters, confirming it will now focus on European alternatives, the Eurofighter Typhoon and the Future Combat Air System (FCAS). A defence ministry spokesperson in Madrid said the government had ruled out the F-35 in favour of platforms backed by Airbus, BAE Systems, Leonardo, Dassault Aviation and Indra Sistemas. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The move follows Trump's sharp criticism of Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez for refusing to raise long-term defence spending to 5% of GDP, despite plans to meet NATO's 2% target by 2025. Washington had also threatened Madrid with additional tariffs on Spanish goods. With €6.25 billion initially budgeted for new jets and €10.5 billion in extra defence spending earmarked for European industries, the US aircraft had no political or fiscal space left. Switzerland, meanwhile, is experiencing growing political resistance to its planned purchase of 36 F-35s after Trump imposed punitive 39% tariffs on Swiss exports — the steepest rate among developed nations. The surcharge, which affects luxury watches and Nespresso capsules, has sparked calls in parliament to cancel the order or hold a fresh referendum. Green lawmaker Balthasar Glättli said, 'A country which throws rocks at us in trade shouldn't get a present,' while Social Democrat co-president Cédric Wermuth urged voters to stop the procurement. Even Liberal allies of Swiss President Karin Keller-Sutter have questioned the deal, citing higher-than-expected costs and the 'American tariff shock.' The setback in Bern comes at a time when Lockheed Martin is already under pressure, with the Pentagon cutting its own F-35 purchases for 2026 and shifting funds to rival programmes. The 36 jets earmarked for Switzerland would have represented nearly a third of the company's total deliveries in 2024. India, too, has kept its distance from the F-35 programme. New Delhi has not pursued the American fighter, focusing instead on its indigenous Tejas programme and other procurement options amid friction over Trump's steep tariffs on Indian exports and policy disagreements. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD With key US allies turning to European-made aircraft or reconsidering existing deals, Trump's tariff strategy intended to pressure trading partners is increasingly undermining one of America's most lucrative defence exports. For Lockheed Martin, the turbulence in Washington's trade relationships is now a direct threat to its order books. Wit inputs from agencies

Trump Tariff News As Trump Threatens BRICS, It Grows Stronger, Resisting US Dollar N18G
When US President Donald Trump rolled out his latest round of punishing tariffs against the world's biggest emerging economies, his goal was clear: weaken BRICS, fracture its unity, and force each member to bargain with Washington on Trump's Trump has triggered a diplomatic chain reaction that is drawing China, India, Brazil, Russia, and South Africa closer together than they have been in years. In trying to undercut the bloc he sees as a threat to US dominance, Trump may be doing exactly what BRICS' founders once dreamed of -- forging it into a coherent, coordinated force against American trade pressure.

How Donald Trump is transforming the white house with gold, flagpoles, and a $200 million ballroom
Source: Getty Images Donald Trump has brought his trademark 'Trumpness' to the White House, loud, lavish, and impossible to ignore. Six months into his second term, he has already reshaped the mansion with towering flagpoles, a stone-paved Rose Garden, and plans for a 90,000-square-foot ballroom. As he puts it, it's 'a great legacy project.' Gold, flagpoles, and a paved Rose Garden According to The Washington Post, Trump personally oversaw the design and installation of two massive flagpoles on the North and South Lawns. Their steel structure and tapered shape were chosen by him, and they now fly giant American flags visible to passengers landing at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. Watching the work in June, Trump told reporters, 'I love construction. I know it better than anybody. ' The Rose Garden has undergone one of its most dramatic changes in decades. Grass has been removed and replaced with light-colored stone pavers, modeled after the patio at Mar-a-Lago. Presidential seals have been embedded into the stone, and even the drainage grates are designed as American flags. Explaining the change, Trump said, 'It's not a pretty sight… when it rains… the women with their lovely evening gowns… they're a mess by the time they get (there). by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like If you have a mouse, play this game for 1 minute Navy Quest Undo ' Source: X According to the White House, these renovations were funded through private donations, though no price tag has been disclosed. Ballroom that shines The centerpiece of Trump's plan is still to come — a permanent ballroom off the East Wing. At 90,000 square feet, it would be the first major structural addition to the White House in decades, tripling the amount of indoor ballroom space. 'No president knew how to build a ballroom,' Trump said last weekend while meeting the European Commission president in Scotland. 'I could take this one, drop it right down there, and it would be beautiful. ' Renderings released by the White House show gold and crystal chandeliers, gilded Corinthian columns, a coffered ceiling with gold inlays, gold floor lamps, and a checkered marble floor. Three walls of arched windows would overlook the South Grounds. The style, by Trump's own admission, is heavily inspired by the Louis XIV-style main room at Mar-a-Lago. Trump says the $200 million price tag will be covered by himself and other private donors. 'It won't interfere with the current building,' he said this week. 'It'll be near it, but not touching it, and pays total respect to the existing building, which I'm the biggest fan of.' Legacy built to last While changes to the Oval Office's decor, such as the gold detailing and cherubs imported from Florida, could easily be reversed, the larger structural projects may endure. As The Washington Post notes, removing the flagpoles might appear unpatriotic, tearing up the Rose Garden stonework would be expensive, and demolishing a nearly quarter-billion-dollar ballroom is unlikely. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. praised the renovations: 'I've been coming to this building for 65 years and I have to say that it has never looked better.' For Trump, the motivation is as much about personal vision as history. 'This'll be a great legacy project,' he said. And, as with so many things in his career, he is determined to make it big, bold, and built to be remembered.
