The Peaceniks are going to scream that the USA is exporting war around the world. The rest of us will realize this is a move to increase the Made in America promises of our president. More foreign military sales means more jobs in the military/industrial complex, along with the amazing number of jobs created to support all those new wage earners.
US President Donald Trump will roll out a new weapons sales policy which will make it easier for America’s allies to buy weapons from the country’s biggest arms manufacturers, a new report says.
The administration is expected to provide a set of guidelines which will “speed up the approval of arms exports” to certain allies, Reuters has reported. Those allies are thought to include NATO member states, Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries, as well as Japan and South Korea.
The initiative will also call for members of Trump’s White House cabinet to act as “closers” to seal major arms deals, sources said. Top government officials will also be sent to promote American weapons at international air shows and arms expos.
The plan is expected to loosen export rules on a range of military equipment, including warships, fighter jets, drones and artillery. The ‘Buy American’ initiative is part of Trump’s personal effort to make the US even more dominant in the global sale of weapons — an area where the US is already one of the most dominant players.
White House sources told Reuters that the main goal of the new policy will be to help American companies compete more effectively against Russian and Chinese manufacturers, as well as to create more jobs in weapons manufacturing domestically.
