budget cut of $1 billion. I have cut my budget of $200 billion to $199 billion by cutting $57 million from the military, $22 million from food and agriculture, $14 million from transportation, and lastly $7 million from energy and environment. Each one of these cuts were made strategically, with a logical reasoning behind them. Within the military budget, I have cut $57 million. A majority of this cut comes from the cancelling of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program. The F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program was established to work on a high level defense plane, The F-35 Lightning. The project is expected to cost $1.5 trillion over a span of 55 years (Ehley 2).

In addition, there are further alternatives to the F-35 Lightning, including other advanced planes such as the F-16 and F/A-18 (Ehley 3). Also in the military sector, my budget calls for another cut of $20 million. The plan proposed to allow this cut is bringing in…

Boeing was responsible for ensuring that the airframe could handle that challenge, and succeeded in most cases. What Boeing was not contracted to solve, however, was…

So, a major challenge that Boeing and stakeholders will have to face is a possible clash of Boeing’s value of working as one Boeing. Because of the military participation in Embraer, a centralizing all Embraer’s activity will not be possible with Boeing; and political pressure can render part of the relationship at stake a good example would be when the US National Security Agency had spied on the Brazilian president in the past which halted completely the deal between the two companies to build…
