Canada, which says it wants to reduce reliance on U.S. defense firms, on Wednesday announced plans to buy a fleet of early warning planes from Sweden's Saab ​rather than a competing option from Boeing.

Prime Minister Mark Carney said Canada would opt for Saab's GlobalEye, which is based ‌on Bombardier's Global 6500 jet. Boeing's E-7 Wedgetail plane - which has suffered from delays and cost overruns - had also been in contention.
