US officials object to European push to buy weapons locally

lol. I guess maybe the US administration had expected if Europe spends more (its fair share) on military, the US would of course be the major winners supplying much of it.

Is it a good bet it all came unstuck when the US turned off the ability of some weapons (mostly the missiles) Ukraine had been utilising when Zelenskyy refused to kiss Trump's ring? Talk about winning.

No doubt Europe will consider US tenders, but it won't just be looking at cost of acquiring, but also the cost when King Trump feels disrespected.
