#Portugal has decided it will not replace its current F-16 fighter jets with F-35s, and will instead consider European alternatives such as the #Rafale or #Gripen.
In a statement, the Ministry of defence stated: "The predictability of our allies must be taken into account when making procurement decisions" (updated translation)
Instead of F-35, #Portugal turns to Europe in search of new fighter
The change in the United States government’s policy towards #NATO has prompted the Portuguese Defense Minister to consider an agreement unlikely

Amazing to see how @transworldexpress starts to cover more countries with information for #trans folks who are looking to leave the US! 
By now there's even a wishlist for countries that aren't covered yet, including #chile #mexico #portugal #spain and others. Sharing in case some of my followers feel like they have useful insights for any of those 
The situation is quite different for #Congo.
After the christianisation of the kingdom, #diplomats were dispatched to the #pope
“The problem for Congolese #ambassadors was that their route to #Rome inexorably passed through #Portugal (as they had to take ships to reach #Europe and all the ships were Portuguese), but that once in Lisbon, the Portuguese were extremely reluctant to let the Congolese out of their sphere of influence and so kept them in Portugal. [...] Portugal guarded its power over the Congo jealously, and it is not coincidental that Congolese ambassadors started appearing in Rome only after Portugal's annexation by #Spain in 1580,” as Lowe explains.

In an article from 2007 Kate Lowe explores African diplomatic representation in #Italy and #Portugal during the age of #renaissance:
https://doi.org/10.1017/S0080440107000552
She, too, picks #Ethiopia and #Congo as case studies. According to her both states were primarily interested in links with the #Pope. The number of Ethiopian #embassies to Rome significantly increased in the 15th and 16th centuries. (3/6)
