I wonder if the Eurofighter might be in the running as an incentive for the trade agreement with the EU.

From a practical sense it makes sense to standardize on what the US is going to use but that may even be in doubt as a full on replacement.
Apparently the Eurofighter uses standardized equipment with all NATO allies except France. They built their own fighter the dassault rafale which uses different weapons/weapon system. If buying 120 or whatever eurofighters helps get free trade with Europe I say do it.
