This is the truth! It could very well be that he adds a requirement that not only do the EU countries need to spend 5% or so of their budgets on useless weapons, they have to buy them from the US. Let's see!
I am happy that Trumps behavior has reignited the interest in Sabbs fighter jet program among the politicians. It has been proposed that it should be scrapped, but now Trump has breathed new life into it! =)
