Dear MEL Topic Readers,
America is the world’s biggest arms exporter. Europe should know
The US exported over 40% of global weapons between 2020 and 2024, up from 35% in the previous four years, according to a report by a think tank. European states of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), a military alliance between countries in Europe and North America, in particular, increased weapons import from the US from just over half to nearly two-thirds during those two periods, which includes Rossia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine. Now, having been pressured by the US, those European countries are set to increase defense spending to improve readiness against Russia’s aggression. More defence spending among European countries is likely to increase more weapons import from the USA. Then, the US can sustain or even grow its arms industry without increasing its defense budget. The USA seems to remain the world’s largest arms exporter, at least for a while.
Read the article and learn about weapons export by the USA.
