The hope is that developing a new fighter jet could create and sustain thousands of UK jobs and open doors to more arms exports.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" BBC News: Rishi Sunak is set to announce a collaboration between the UK, Italy and Japan to develop a new fighter jet that uses artificial intelligence.
