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.
Fucking don’t buy shit from us.
“We don’t need other countries!”
“Hey, you other countries can’t do that, we need you!”
Did they not just ask Europeans to up our defense spending? Getting a lot of mixed messages here… Fools.
They meant they wanted Europe to buy a bunch of overpriced American fighter jets
This sounds like it’s Elon Musk talk… The guy who wanted to sue companies for not advertising on Twitter…
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
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?
Foreign countries do not just roll over to Donald Trump like American institutions do it seems
A bully never expects to be bullied right back
To be fair. That’s what’s basically been happening over the past 50 years. Just look at how we let Russia walk all over us. So it kinda makes sense for them to expect the same outcome.
Their only problem is that since Europe is basically on its own now, Europe has to choose for european produce. We can deal with one shitty dictatorship trying to push us around. But now its two shitty dictatorships so yeah that kinda changes things around (finally).
That is exactly what these numb nut dipshits expected.
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.
He literally turns everything that he touches into shit. He is like the shit version of king Midas.

Somebody said Mierdas
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.
US arms companies have been fighting basic laws like gun licenses for years. The results are thousands of dead children. Fuck them companies.
Uh… too bad?
You sidelined US companies the moment you enacted tariffs (among other things), you turd.
Dear Mr. Rubio
Please gently fornicate yourself.
I don’t want a singe euro-cent of my taxes spent in the American industry.
You reap what you sow.
Sounds to me like the US government has been thoroughly infiltrated by corporations only interested in their own profit. How dare other countries not pay billions to American corporations??
But we knew this already.
Of course
Hey USA you know how the saying goes: “Be careful what you ask for, you might get it.”
Now Europe is arming itself like you asked. So kindly fuck off and be happy, that you got what you asked for.
Get fucked military industrial complex. Reap what you sow.
