I wonder how pissing off US defence contractors will go for Trump & co. I certainly wouldn't want to poke that bear.
I'm guessing the trillion dollar defense budget will have a calming effect on them.
I imagine the corporations don't make those sales directly, they go through the government. The budget isnt just buying the air craft, theyre developing it, which means the design is technically government property.
That means less cash flow in, reduced RoI, and ultimately smalled budgets
Perhaps, but greedy people who are willing to make weapons that kill children will definitely at least be annoyed that they're losing billions internationally. They're greedy corporations, after all.
