President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made a big announcement on Friday about a major breakthrough with the U.S. military.
While speaking from the Oval Office, Trump announced the U.S. military’s next high-tech fighter jet.
Trump not only announces that Boeing has won the contract for “the world’s first six generation fighter jet,” the F-47, he says it’s “been flying for five years.” The president called the F-47 “a good size plane,” adding that “perhaps” some allies will be able to purchase them. Trump said this plane “does not fly by itself” and the F-47 flies with drones “as many as we want.”
“The F-47 will be the most advanced, most capable, most lethal aircraft ever built. An experimental version of the plane has secretly been flying for almost 5 years and we’re confident that it massively overpowers the capabilities of any other nation,” Trump declared.
“This is a big day for our warfighters. This is a big day for our country, a big day in the world … America is going to have generations in the future of air dominance because of this sixth-generation fighter,” Hegseth said.

Trump also spoke about the release of the JFK files.
“I don’t think there’s anything that’s Earth-shattering but you’ll have to make that determination,” Trump said of JFK files when asked who killed President Kennedy. “Everything is out there, completely open.”
