Summary
U.S. officials have warned European allies against excluding American defense firms from EU weapons tenders, amid new EU proposals to boost domestic arms production.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio emphasized U.S. concerns in recent meetings, citing potential negative repercussions if U.S. companies are sidelined.
The EU’s €150 billion ReArm Europe plan aims to reduce reliance on foreign suppliers as Trump signals reduced U.S. NATO engagement.
Washington sees the move as conflicting with its goal of selling arms abroad. Tensions highlight diverging transatlantic defense priorities under Trump’s leadership.
LOL.
Until U.S. foreign policy is no longer dictated by the Kremlin, the U.S. can get fucked.
As an American citizen. I support this message.
“Warned against excluding”
Wait until the US feels threatened by the EU and will need to invade to guarantee security for its citizens.
Literally just russia 2.0
Uh, what the fuck did these geniuses think would happen? Repeatedly kick every one of our allies in the balls, and…then what? Things continue just status quo in every other aspect?
Probably one of the top 10 Trump moments so far from the Oval Office “ we are going to make less capable aircraft for our allies. In case they aren’t our allies anymore in the future you never know.”
right from putins mouth, it has alot buzzwords used by putin.
A bully never expects to be bullied right back
That is exactly what these numb nut dipshits expected.
“Warned”? What are you going to do, invade Europe for not buying our weapons? These chucklefucks legit think they own the world.
I would tell them that any company without solid, written, DEI policies need not apply.
It’s a national security threat for the EU to buy American arms. All it takes is for a crazy US president to cut their supply when they’re most in need like the US did to Ukraine and they’re in trouble. The EU is right to exclude US arms. Trumps actions have consequences.
If America can go America first, then so should the EU.
No no, you can’t do that. Only they can do that!
Put “DEI” requirements in the billing requirements
DEI exclusion surcharge.
The art of the deal.
More like The Fart of the Deal. Pee-ew, this shit stinks every time.
Did they not just ask Europeans to up our defense spending? Getting a lot of mixed messages here… Fools.
Get fucked military industrial complex. Reap what you sow.
Hey USA you know how the saying goes: “Be careful what you ask for, you might get it.”
Now Europe is arming itself like you asked. So kindly fuck off and be happy, that you got what you asked for.
Sounds to me like the US government has been thoroughly infiltrated by corporations only interested in their own profit. How dare other countries not pay billions to American corporations??
But we knew this already.
There are no patent limitations on manufacturing M16s. It’s a solid, proven, affordable design. Europe is a manufacturing powerhouse, with plenty of superb weapons manufacturers who don’t even need to use Stoner’s design. They risk absolutely nothing.
Whiny man babies. “I’m gonna punch you in the gut just cause I’m a dick. Why aren’t you still buying my weapons???”
Surprised Pikachu face moment.
What were they expecting? They’ve clearly showed to the world how quickly they can turn against their allies over nothing. Nobody will want to rely on them for their defense.
It’s so un-American to not buy weapons from us. Who do these Europeans think they are?
