It is also true that at least some firms return more to shareholders than they spend on capital expenditures in a given year (e.g., General Dynamics reported $916M capex and $3B returned via dividends + repurchases for 2024).

European nations spend, on average, 64% of their budget on US equipment.
The Netherlands has the highest share, spending 97% of its budget on US equipment.
France the lowest, with 6%.
This is now changing, thanks to Trump more is sourced within the EU.
But higher spending IS profiting the US.
