European demand for fighter jets, missile defences and other weapons is growing fast - US arms makers

A Lockheed Martin F-16 fighter of the Belgian Air Force performs at the 53rd International Paris Air Show at Le Bourget Airport near Paris, France, June 22, 2019

Lockheed Martin, Boeing and other top weapons makers said they had seen accelerating demand for US weapons at the biennial air show despite escalating trade tensions between the United States and Europe. Industry executives and government officials say growing concern about Iran’s missile development program is another key factor. Tehran’s downing of a US drone came late in the air show, but executives said it would support further demand.

Edwards and other executives say they see no impact from the ongoing trade disputes between US President Donald Trump and the European Union.US Army Lieutenant General Charles Hooper, director of the Pentagon’s Defense Security Cooperation Agency , said Europe accounted for nearly a quarter of the $55.7 billion in foreign arms sales his agency handled in fiscal 2018.

U.S. Plans New Iran Sanctions as Europe Tries to Defuse TensionsPresident Trump and his aides have indicated they are prepared to wait for the economic vise on Tehran to tighten further, but didn’t elaborate on what additional sanctions would look like. We already showed restraint. This was the alternative Well that's because most of the sanctions will affect the European trade with the Ayatollahs. Both the Americans and Europeans, need to think about the Iranian business men and women in the diaspora, who are much better for Iran in the future, than the current Ayatollahs. Why have we not already placed the most severe sanctions? Why are we just now placing new ones ?
