European Clients for U.S. Armaments Face Years of Further Delays Due to Severe Shortages
European NATO members could face years-long delays in obtaining American weapons as the United States prioritises replenishing its own military stockpiles following its war against Iran, according to Washington’s ambassador to NATO, Matthew Whitaker. Speaking at the Warsaw Security Forum on October 12, Whitaker warned that American defence manufacturers would be largely occupied with meeting domestic requirements, leaving limited production capacity available for foreign customers. He urged European governments to expand their own defence industries to meet growing military requirements, stating: “The U.S. needs friends with manufacturing capacity.”
