OTTAWA—Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said changes in the geopolitical landscape and a need to secure more defense production in Canada have sparked a review of the country’s planned acquisition of 88 F-35 combat jets from Lockheed Martin.

Canada is looking for possible alternatives to its deal to buy U.S. fighter jets in part because it relies too much on the United States for security, Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Monday. Carney made the comments just days after ordering a review of a C$19-billion ($13.

Mark Carney, Canada’s new prime minister, was greeted warmly in Europe on Monday during his first foreign visit as leader, in a stark contrast to the hostility channeled toward Canada by US President Donald Trump.

Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney said it was important to strengthen ties with "reliable allies" in Europe, as he met British and French leaders on his first overseas visit amid tensions with the United States.

This is Carney's first official foreign trip since he was sworn in on March 14. He will next land in London, where he will sit down with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and King Charles III, the head of state in Canada.
