USA Blocks Columbia from purchasing Gripen jets from SAAB. They use General Electric engines so USA can block it. But Trump doesn't block it because he sees Columbia as problematic but because he wants them to buy F16V instead because once again, he doesn't care about anything as long as it can push American sales.

It gets clearer every day that no country and especially not European countries should buy any American military tech anymore if there's any alternative (also no Swiss).

Trump will just block or just shut down any system from any country if they don't do what he wants even years after they've been sold already

What that will also almost certainly lead to it companies like SAAB investing in variants that use Rolls-Royce engines instead of GE ones.
