Sep 1, 2004 Washington
>>A new study by the Congressional Research Service shows that arms sales worldwide have declined for the third consecutive year. The United States, the world’s largest arms seller, continues to dominate the global arms market and its sales have increased.
In 2003 the world spent about 900 billion dollars for military purposes, with the United States accounting for about one half of that amount. The United States signed arms-sales agreements worth fourteen-and-a-half billion dollars, more than 56 percent of all such transactions worldwide. In addition, it has sold military technology and supplied military aid and training, much of it to the developing world. David Isenberg, a senior analyst at the Washington branch of the research organization called British-American Security Information Council, says in any given year the United States holds more than half of the global market.<<
