U.S. officials have told European allies they want them to keep buying American-made arms, amid recent moves by the European Union to limit U.S. manufacturers' participation in weapons tenders, five sources familiar with the matter told Reuters. The messages delivered by Washington in recent weeks come as the EU takes steps to boost Europe's weapons industry, while potentially limiting purchases of certain types of U.S. arms.
According to two of the sources, Rubio said any exclusion of U.S. companies from European tenders would be seen negatively by Washington, which those two sources interpreted as a reference to the proposed EU rules. One northern European diplomat, who was not part of the Baltic meeting, said they had also been recently told by U.S. officials that any exclusion from EU weapons procurements would be seen as inappropriate.

WE'RE CUTTING OFF AID TO UKRAINE (A EUROPEAN COUNTRY) BECAUSE THEIR LEADER DIDN'T WEAR A SUIT. WE'RE GOING TO THREATEN DENMARK AND GREENLAND WITH MILITARY FORCE. GET YOUR OWN MILITARY"
Europe: Alright. We'll invest even more into our own militaries then like America does, thus investing more into NATO.
America: "NOOOOOO. YOU CAN'T DO THAT. HOW DARE YOU DO THAT. YOU MUST BUY AMERICAN. EUROPE IS SO MEAN! STOP!"
