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.

Nah, as an American, fuck the US government and US arms dealers. They don’t get to fuck over our allies and demand profit out of them in the war machine they keep moving. Especially with them joining the axis of evil and aiding Israel’s genocide of Palestine.
Fucking don’t buy shit from us.
The EU should put massive tariffs on American exports, and double those on weapons.
US arms companies have been fighting basic laws like gun licenses for years. The results are thousands of dead children. Fuck them companies.
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.
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?
A bully never expects to be bullied right back
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.
That is exactly what these numb nut dipshits expected.
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
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.
“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.
Put “DEI” requirements in the billing requirements
DEI exclusion surcharge.
If America can go America first, then so should the EU.
No no, you can’t do that. Only they can do that!
Careful EU. Remember what the US did in Iraq when Saddam was going to switch from the dollar to the Euro.
Imagine getting nuked by Macron for trying to invade europe
The art of the deal.
More like The Fart of the Deal. Pee-ew, this shit stinks every time.
