I think BP would have found it hard to escape the fines, which is probably why it cost them so much (assuming the summary below is accurate). X might get away with ignoring the UK government but then at the very least they’d be blocked here.

Just because Trump wants to say that "he" is personally "selling" weapons to Nato, the BBC doesn't need to go along with it. It isn't true, and if it were, it would be yet another piece of corruption and THAT should be the headline
