U.S. weapons exports down 21% to US$ 138 bil. in 2021
Updated: 2021-12-23
Weapons exports by the U.S. fell by 21 percent this year.
The U.S. State Department said on Wednesday that gross sales of U.S. navy tools for the 2021 fiscal year came to 1-hundred-38 billion U.S. dollars.
Reuters reported that this is likely because the Biden administration is shifting away from a number of the extra arms sales practices taken by Donald Trump.
President Biden has been moving towards a new weapons export policy that emphasizes human rights in evaluating an arms sale.
