Today, I spoke with President Zelenskyy and shared with him that my Administration is authorizing an additional $800 million in weapons, ammunition, and other security assistance to Ukraine.

The Big Defence Play

As Europe ramps up spending on security, US defence firms eagerly await bulk orders for top-of-the-line military hardware. Germany and Finland agreed to purchase 35 and 64 F-35 fighter jets, respectively, in deals worth $4.4 billion and $9.4 billion. Spain will spend $950 million on eight Sikorsky Seahawk helicopters, while Poland will fork out $4.7 billion for a Patriot air defence missile system. Ralph Acaba, CEO of Raytheon, one of the top US missile manufacturers summed up the surge in sales when he said, “Europe is really big for us now, and that’s a big change in just the last few years and even the last 18 months.”

Arming NATO allies beyond Europe is also priority, and Washington is keen to sell 40 F-16s to Turkey and upgrade 80 existing warplanes for $6 billion. That is despite Turkey not joining the US in sanctioning Russia and continuing to operate the Russian-made S-400 missile system.

Arms exports will benefit the US at an important juncture when its military modernisation is in dire need of cash injection. For example, the $1.7 trillion F-35 program — beleaguered and weighed down by cost overruns and rising breakeven prices -finally found an expanded export market. Profits will likely be used for meeting budgets that were growing increasingly unsustainable and advancing the US’ own next-generation weapons development.

The US has a history of leveraging arms races — from World War II to the Cold War and the Middle East conflicts — to stay ahead of the technology curve. No doubt, Europe’s re-militarisation comes at a useful time when great power competition is forcing the US to reinvent itself.

If US genuinely wants peace ,
