Washington is unhappy that some European arms programs limit U.S. participation.
U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau on Wednesday slammed European NATO allies for prioritizing their own defense industry over American arms suppliers, according to three NATO diplomats.
The intervention came during Wednesday’s meeting of NATO foreign ministers — which was skipped by Landau’s boss Marco Rubio.
Landau, a longtime NATO skeptic who spoke first at the closed-door meeting, told ministers not to “bully” his country’s defense firms out of participating in Europe’s rearmament.



The US just needs to pull itself up by the bootstraps and keep applying to more countries to land a contract.
They literally cannot even imagine the idea that their own actions have consequences. Watching these brainless fucks mesmerize so many people around me is absolutely terrifying.
And whether you intended that strictly as sarcasm or not - you’re not wrong… We really do need to just sort our shit out as a country already. But there’s still some stubborn idiots like me that refuse to give up. Will it be enough to even give us a chance? I dunno
Yep, America doesn’t like ‘hand outs’ anyway. So they’re honestly doing them a favor.
But you see, we don’t have to earn it - y’all do! Or something. Fuck if I know…
