American weapons are used as a form of currency to buy influence and power globally. The US sells weapons to countries to strengthen alliances, prepare for potential conflicts, counter enemies, secure vital resources, and promote stability. While arms sales can help maintain alliances and deter conflicts, they also pose risks by fueling conflicts, provoking adversaries, and enabling human rights abuses. The US is a major player in the global arms trade, using arms sales as a foreign policy tool to shape behavior and security worldwide.
