    Could be argued that the US administration is more interested in making military equipment sales than bolstering NATO.

    I figure you’re right though. All our allies should be happy when Canada pulls it’s own weight.

      I’m not aware of the US selling their subs to anyone. They had a partial tech-sharing program with the UK a while back.

            The Chinese would have landed in Sydney by the time the French laid the keels for the subs in the deal they struck with Australia.

        US military sales are not limited to subs. Doubtless they want to sell more planes and everything else. You can look up graphs of US arms exports, it’s a lot.
