European demand for fighter jets, missile defences and other weapons is growing fast - US arms makers

Lockheed Martin, Boeing and other top weapons makers said they had seen accelerating demand for US weapons at the biennial air show despite escalating trade tensions between the United States and Europe. Industry executives and government officials say growing concern about Iran’s missile development program is another key factor. Tehran’s downing of a US drone came late in the air show, but executives said it would support further demand.
Edwards and other executives say they see no impact from the ongoing trade disputes between US President Donald Trump and the European Union.US Army Lieutenant General Charles Hooper, director of the Pentagon’s Defense Security Cooperation Agency , said Europe accounted for nearly a quarter of the $55.7 billion in foreign arms sales his agency handled in fiscal 2018.
