Preference for European-made arms could disrupt the transatlantic defence industrial base and benefit Europe’s "enemies", Ambassador Andrew Puzder warns. #EuropeNews
With something like this, we know we are on the right track.
I mean yeah it is ‘self-interest’, that’s not a gotcha. This is what the US wanted, Europe taking more control over their defence. Maybe if they hadn’t been so aggressive and stupid in their approach, countries would have continued buying US weapons.
The problem is that Republicans have demonstrated that they are perfectly fine having a leader who will just whip out sanctions left and right, often for no readily apparent reason. Continuing to rely on US manufactured weapons constitutes an unacceptable national security risk, because at any point support for those weapon systems maybe withdrawn.
They should have maybe thought about this before letting the international skid mark loose.

Absolutly a self own by Trump
Buying more US weapons, not developing their own… Read the fine prints for hell’s sake 😜
