According to news from the Canadian side on the 14th, the Canadian government previously quietly ordered the suspension of procurement of 16 US-made UH-60M “Black Hawk” helicopters before starting a new round of trade negotiations with the US. According to the news, several sources revealed that the decision to suspend procurement was related to trade and diplomatic tension between Canada and the US. As Canada seeks to reduce its military dependency on the US, the Canadian government believes that the timing is not right to buy American helicopters without a bidding process. In addition to suspending the purchase of “Black Hawk” helicopters, the Canadian government continues to review whether it will buy a batch of F-35 stealth fighter jets manufactured by US companies.
