JUST IN  Canada is planning to halt purchases of U.S. defense systems, including the F-35, THAAD, and Golden Dome, and instead pursue domestic production or cooperation with China, the EU, and Sweden. U.S. could face losses of up to $100 billion in defense deals tied to the move.

In a stunning geopolitical shift, Canada is reportedly preparing to halt all future purchases of U.S. defense systems, including the F-35 Lightning II, THAAD, and even missile defense components of the Iron Dome — often referred to as the “Golden Dome.”

According to sources close to the Canadian Department of National Defence, the government is considering a strategic pivot toward domestic production and joint defense cooperation with partners in the European Union, Sweden, and even China.
If confirmed, this decision would mark one of the most significant breaks in the U.S.-Canada defense partnership in modern history, potentially impacting decades of cooperation through organizations like NORAD and NATO.
 Financial Fallout:
Analysts estimate that the U.S. defense sector could lose up to $100 billion in contracts and joint research deals tied to Canadian defense purchases. Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, and Northrop Grumman are expected to be among the hardest-hit corporations if the move proceeds.
 Strategic Implications:
Canada may aim to reduce dependency on U.S. military supply chains and bolster national sovereignty in defense manufacturing.
Discussions reportedly include technology-sharing agreements with the EU’s defense consortiums and potential aerospace collaboration with Sweden’s Saab AB, maker of the JAS 39 Gripen.
Any cooperation with China could trigger diplomatic tensions with Washington, especially under current security conditions.
 Ottawa has not officially confirmed the policy change, but multiple defense industry insiders suggest an announcement could come within weeks as part of a broader reassessment of Canada’s defense procurement strategy.
This development could reshape the North American security architecture, redefining alliances and raising questions about the future of continental defense cooperation.
