As portuguese I'm proud of my country for doing that. I hope this is the start of a more active role within EU, especially because we've been sitting too comfortably as a nation. Also because we're the closest ones to the US and the west EU entry point.

Needless to be said, before the "acshually" movement starts saying "they didn't have an F-35 order", they did have the intention to buy them, just like the old F-16's.

Regardless, Trump is an immature toddler who puts up tariffs against other nations and as soon as they counter him he immediately removes them and starts crying about unfairness.

In his case "not buying the planned F-35's" pretty much = "Blowing up purchased and delivered F-35's to send a message".
