“Such a position is connected with the continuation of Trump’s tactical line. He believes that all the agreements concluded under Barack Obama should be renewed. Of course, this is also one of the measures to ensure first place in the arms market. And, of course, the removal of any restrictions for aggressive expansion into these markets, because it is obvious that American weapons are less demanded and this is not only a financial, but also a political problem, ”the expert believes.
Asafov noted that the position of the United States on this issue is consistent, despite the general tone of control and limitations of the arms market.
Earlier, Trump announced the withdrawal of the United States from the International Arms Trade Treaty.
According to him, he will ask the Senate to stop the process of ratifying the document, which was signed during the presidency of Barack Obama.
