Peruvian President says he will not purchase fighter jets from the United States.

Peru's "Republica" newspaper reported on the 23rd that Peruvian President Vargas reiterated on the 22nd that he will not purchase F-16 fighter jets from the United States. The decision on which company will be awarded the procurement contract will be made by the next government. Vargas stated that purchasing these aircraft would create a huge financial burden, and the current government already has several urgent matters that require investment. Vargas announced last week that the purchase of F-16 fighter jets from the United States will be postponed. At that time, U.S. Ambassador to Peru, Navarro, threatened on social media that if the Peruvian government lacks sincerity in negotiations with the United States and harms U.S. interests, he, as a representative of the U.S. government, will "use all available means" to respond.
