By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered: Section 1.

“the United States will prioritize arms sales and transfers to partners that have invested in their own self-defense and capabilities, have a critical role or geography in United States plans and operations, or contribute to our economic security”

Whenever anyone uses the terms, “they are Machiavellian” or an “éminence grise”, the person in question usually wouldn’t be worthy of tying the shoe laces of Machiavelli or Richelieu. As we are finding out…
