Week 26 in #wapenhandel25tweets

Week 26 in #wapenhandel25tweets
(Gaarne 'liken' of delen als je het nuttig of interessant vindt.)

De week laat een waterscheiding zien tussen de VS en China (de Taiwan deal, de strafmaatregelen tegen een Chinese bank vanwege Noord-Korea deals), de VS en Qatar (Saudi's nemen en passant ook Soedan en Turkije mee in conflict om regionale macht). De VS maakt vrienden met India, bekrachtigd band met Riyad (en GCC) en Tapei.

Veel vliegtuigdeals in onderstaande tweets dat heeft te maken met Paris Airshow Le Bourget 2017.

Voor de komende week staat in Nederland een onderzeebootoverleg op de agenda van de Tweede Kamer. De marine wil grote onderzeeboten die vermoedelijk zo'n miljard per stuk gaan kosten. Zowel om de vorm als kosten zal deze week heen gedraaid worden. De politiek gaat al wel grotendeels met de plannen mee. Oppositie is er nauwelijks. In week27 meer.
