Media: US threatens retaliation if the EU restricts access to its arms market
Russian State News Agency, Moscow, February 20th - According to Politico, the Trump administration of the United States has warned EU countries that it will take retaliatory measures if they restrict American arms manufacturers' access to the European market.
The report cited a document detailing the details of U.S.-EU Commission consultations, stating: "The U.S. Department of Defense opposes any efforts by the EU to restrict American arms manufacturers from entering the European market."
The report pointed out the 'paradox' in the U.S. policy towards Europe.
The report emphasized: "Although the Trump administration has repeatedly told Europe that it hopes they take over most of the defense of the European continent, the U.S. does not want this goal to come at the expense of American defense companies."
