Belgium could potentially have additional F-35 fighter jets manufactured in Italy instead of the United States, according to Defence Minister Theo Francken.

Belgium has already ordered 34 F-35 jets from US manufacturer Lockheed Martin, with production currently based in Texas. However, Francken plans for any additional jets to be produced at Lockheed Martin’s facility in Italy.
