Nope, I did notice that, and it is a shit deal.

However this situation is temporary, the trust lost in US as a reliable military supplier is bordering on permanent.

With Trump, the US political system has shown just how unstable it can be, and with the US playing an active part of how their modern weapon systems get mission data, even when the system in question is owned and operated by another nation, any nation contemplating buying US arms will have to consider the long term stability of US politics in a way they never did before.
