Canada’s strategic defense procurement not only
strengthens U.S.–Canada national security and defense
cooperation but also creates well-paying jobs in
Washington. Boeing’s key manufacturing facility in
Renton will produce the 16 P-8A Poseidon Multi Mission
Aircraft for the $5.9 billion recent purchase by the
Government of Canada. This deal further fosters the
supply chain integration and innovation collaboration
between the U.S. and Canada, as Canada remains
Boeing’s key supply chain partner and destination of its
new innovation center. The P-8A Poseidon will be
Canada’s new maritime patrol aircraft and will enable
our two countries to jointly patrol our shared waters and
the Canadian north enabling Canada to fully support
NORAD’s operations well into the future!
