- Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Wednesday that a review of the country's plan to order U.S. F-35 fighter jets from Lockheed Martin LMT.N would be complete by the end of summer.

Carney in March ordered a review of the C$19-billion ($13.29 billion) contract for 88 F-35 fighters as Canada was locked in a trade war with the United States and looked to diversify defense spending. Canada's defense ministry has said Ottawa already made a legal commitment of funds for the first 16 F-35 aircraft.

Carney said at the NATO Summit in The Netherlands that he had held discussions with European partners for purchase of fighter jets and submarines.
