The State Department has announced plans for three major weapons sales to Australia, Egypt, and the Netherlands. The deals are estimated to be jointly worth some $3.1 billion, with officials saying the sales will not alter the basic military balance in the respective regions nor will they have any adverse impact on America’s defense readiness.
The Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) announced in a series of statements on May 25 that the State Department has approved the potential deals, which are not yet final.
