The government refuses to purchase American military aircraft. Two ministers in Peru have resigned one after another.

On April 22, due to the Peruvian government's refusal to purchase American military aircraft, Peruvian Defense Minister Carlos Diaz and Foreign Minister Hugo de Zela announced their resignations successively. Peruvian President Barcasar stated on the 17th that the Peruvian government is considering postponing the signing of the contract to purchase F-16 fighter jets from Lockheed Martin of the United States. The military procurement project involves a huge amount of money, which will bring a "very heavy" debt burden to the country. Considering this government is a transitional government, it is recommended that the next government handle this matter. Peruvian government officials and American officials have warned that "this step not only endangers Peruvian national security, but may also lead to a diplomatic impasse between Peru and Washington."
