And the U.S. needs Israeli innovation.
Take the F-35, for instance. Israel was the first country to fly the F-35 in combat, in 2018 — at a moment when the U.S. was ready to nix the program. Israeli pilots and engineers worked alongside Lockheed Martin to fix it. Today the program supports 290,000 American jobs, generates $72 billion in annual U.S. economic output, and carries a $173 billion order backlog.
