A $7 billion missile-defense system for the United Arab Emirates. An estimated $15 billion potential sale of Lockheed Martin’s brand-new fighter plane to Israel. Billions of dollars in weaponry for Taiwan and Turkey. These and other recent deals helped make the United States the world’s leading arms-exporting nation.
In 2007, U.S. foreign military sales agreements totaled more than $32 billion — nearly triple the amount during President Bush’s first full year in office.

A disagreement over the scope of U.S.-Russian strategic arms negotiations has stymied efforts to plan for next year's expiration of a major nuclear weapons treaty, the Washington Post reported today.
The two nations held talks last week to craft a successor agreement to the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, which is due to expire in December 2009. The pact limits the numbers of nuclear weapons each side may deploy by capping the number of nuclear-weapon delivery vehicles -- bombers, missiles and submarines -- and the quantity of warheads that may be deployed on those systems. The treaty has an extensive verification system that requires both countries to declare their holdings and to allow on-site inspections.
