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.
“We don’t need other countries!”
“Hey, you other countries can’t do that, we need you!”
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.
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?
A bully never expects to be bullied right back
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.”
He literally turns everything that he touches into shit. He is like the shit version of king Midas.

Foreign countries do not just roll over to Donald Trump like American institutions do it seems
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).
Put “DEI” requirements in the billing requirements
DEI exclusion surcharge.
This sounds like it’s Elon Musk talk… The guy who wanted to sue companies for not advertising on Twitter…
The amount of mixed signals coming from this administration is insane.
Like you want to tariff us but if we fight back you say nah fam not like that.
America should be shunned out of society and can make deals with Russia and North Korea.
It’s about time people saw America for the bullies they are and sever ties with them.
Cunts.
The amount of mixed signals coming from this administration is insane.
No, seems pretty straightforward. It’s simply “we’ll tariff-whip you into submission and make you buy our shit”
AKA “fuck around”
It is logical if you accept that america has a fascist government. That is how fascism works, put pressure on other countries, bully them and if they do not comply you can point to them for politcal gain. After a while of “warning” and pretending that the other countries are enemies (all so your population gets riled up) you can start wars.
boo. fuckin. hoo.
you did it to yourselves. now. could you please stop deporting my neighbors? between the Ukrainians who got deported from my town and the rich white conservatives, i woulda rather deported the rich white conservatives
Deport maga to Russia where they already have the government they want!
Oh so that was trumps play, he wanted us to specifically buy THEIR weapons to arm ourselves because that helps THEIR economy once again
Of course. That’s all their “increase your military spending” whining was about. There are valid reasons to increase military spending but their whining isn’t one.
Whiny man babies. “I’m gonna punch you in the gut just cause I’m a dick. Why aren’t you still buying my weapons???”
US arms companies have been fighting basic laws like gun licenses for years. The results are thousands of dead children. Fuck them companies.
Of course
The EU should put massive tariffs on American exports, and double those on weapons.
Fucking don’t buy shit from us.
It’s so un-American to not buy weapons from us. Who do these Europeans think they are?
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
