    They absolutely should, we would be much better off buying European made jets for a whole range of reasons.

    Since we’re not part of the nuclear arms sharing arrangement with the US (as opposed to Germany for example) there is no reason to buy US tech and surrender part of our defense to US interests.

      Agreed.

      Also, I’d love it if we would track how much the loss in income from US tarifffs is and reduce Swiss spending on US technology by at least that amount. Let’s spend that money at home, in Europe, and in other markets that partner with us instead.
