Close the road Russian and China. US announced new rules for the export of weapons
The new set of rules governing the sale of military equipment abroad is based on a new idea: "Economic security - national security." Thus, the administration of the President of the United States puts economic justification in the first place, which should help American companies develop their business.
According to SIPRI, the United States is the largest arms supplier in the world. American companies account for 34% of global exports, and arms are sold to 98 countries. The closest competitor to the United States in the global arms market is Russia with 22% and 47 buyer countries. Third place belongs to China with 5,7% and 48 buyer countries. At the same time, China is pursuing an aggressive export policy, seriously competing with American companies in some areas (in particular, the supply of military drones). The new export policy should make U.S. weapons more accessible to allies, simplify the buying process, and shorten deal times.
