Peru's Defense and Foreign Ministers Resign Over Canceled Fighter Jet Purchase

Peru's defense and foreign ministers resigned after President Dina Boluarte abruptly canceled the ceremonial signing of a fighter jet purchase agreement just hours before it was scheduled to take place. The cancellation of the signing ceremony prompted the immediate resignations of both ministers, though details about the specific aircraft purchase and the reasons behind the president's last-minute decision remain unclear. The incident highlights tensions within Peru's government over military procurement decisions and suggests disagreements between the presidency and defense establishment over the country's military modernization plans.
