The U.S. president has asked defense companies to stop paying dividends and repurchasing stocks.

US President Trump has demanded that US defense companies immediately stop paying large dividends to shareholders, refrain from large-scale stock buybacks, and limit the annual income of corporate executives to no more than $5 million, focusing their efforts on defense production.

Trump is taking a tough approach against the military-industrial complex, showing great determination. However, it is highly likely that this will end up as nothing, just like last year when he investigated accounts at the Pentagon. Would Trump really be willing to touch the interests of the military-industrial complex? Is he not afraid of losing his life?
