Breaking news: The US refuses to sell the Patriot air defense system, — The Atlantic.
The Pentagon has classified certain weapons types, including Patriot, as in short supply and is beginning to block new requests for these systems from European partners. This development comes within the context of a broader "America First" policy and could increase tensions with NATO allies, especially in light of ongoing threats from Russia.

In addition, it should be noted that Americans sell their weapons at artificially inflated prices. European-made weapons systems are financially much more beneficial for the national economy.
