What to watch: Trump vs. Canada, Saudi F-35s, new naval tech

President Donald Trump has again come out swinging in a Truth Social post — this time against the Canadian aerospace industry [https://breakingdefense.com/2026/01/with-trumps-threats-over-canadian-jets-questions-about-a-key-customer-the-pentagon/] in retaliation for the country's delayed certification of US-made Gulfstream jets for use in Canada. On a new episode of The Weekly Break Out [https://breakingdefense.com/tag/break-out-video/], Editor-in-Chief Aaron Mehta and Deputy Editor Lee Ferran flag how the heated rivalry could affect America's militarized variants of Canada's Bombardier airframes. Then, they look ahead to two major conferences: World Defense Show in Saudi Arabia, where new details of the kingdom's push to own the F-35 could emerge, and WEST 2026, the annual naval expo that brings together ships and information technology in California. Stay tuned for coverage from both shows. Underwritten by Leonardo DRS. Visit breakingdefense.com [https://breakingdefense.com/] for more defense news throughout the week.
