U.S. Monthly Atlantic website revealed,Because of the need to prioritize supplementing its arms inventories, the United States has partially suspended arms sales to European countries, including Patriot air defense systems.
The Atlantic Monthly quoted two White House people who did not want to be named as saying that the Pentagon "suddenly" lost interest in selling the multi-billion-dollar Patriot air defense system to Danish after several weeks of advancing related procurement matters.
According to the two sources,The Pentagon has confirmed a shortage of some weapons and equipment, so it has suspended accepting relevant orders from European countries。
It is unclear how long the U.S. suspension of some arms sales will last and which weapons and equipment are in short supply. According to the analysis of several media, if this policy continues, it may trigger a new tension between the United States and its European allies and weaken the military influence of the United States on Europe.
In July, the U.S. suspended some of its military aid to Ukraine, analyzing that the move was due to U.S. concerns about the excessive decline in its arms stockpiles.In addition to aid abroad, the U.S. recently also airstrikes the Houthi armed forces in Yemen, supplies arms to Israel and participates in airstrikes on Iran, leading to a rapid decline in arms stockpiles.
