Trump Announces Deployment of Boeing F-15EX Jets to Michigan Air Base

President Donald Trump has announced plans to deploy new Boeing F-15EX fighter jets at the Selfridge Air National Guard Base in Michigan, a move that ensures the base's continued operation and addresses closure concerns. This announcement was made on April 29, 2025, during President Trump's visit to Michigan, where he was joined by Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer.

Located near Detroit, Selfridge Air National Guard Base plays a significant role in Michigan's economy, contributing approximately $850 million annually and supporting about 5,000 military and civilian jobs. The decision to station the F-15EX jets comes as a critical support for the base, which has been a pivotal part of the community. Reuters reported that this initiative aligns with legislative efforts aimed at enhancing the Air National Guard's capabilities and modernizing their equipment by replacing aging A-10 aircraft.

The collaboration between President Trump and Governor Whitmer highlights a rare bipartisan effort aimed at securing the future of the base and enhancing strategic military readiness. The deployment not only strengthens national defense but also provides crucial economic stability to a region facing rising unemployment rates. With both political and economic implications, this decision reassures Michigan's stake in national defense and local job security.
