US pulls out of defence show

The DA has accused the Minister of Defence and Military Veterans Angie Motshekga of causing national embarrassment following the US’ withdrawal from the Africa Aerospace and Defence Expo (AAD), which officially opens this week.

DA spokesperson for International Relations and Cooperation Emma Powell said the defence minister must answer for the US withdrawal.

“This withdrawal is a direct result of the department of defence’s refusal to confirm the application of the 1999 Status of Forces Agreement during the visit.
