Can Carter halt the rising U.S. arms sales
Washington officials warn Carter cannot meaningfully cut arms exports as postwar global demand grows. From 2 billion in 1970 to 9.4 and 9.5 billion projected in 1976 and 1977, with factors including end of recession, nations seeking security, and a spiral where one country’s new weapons spur others. Experts cite price inflation, shifting postcolonial powers, and a need to address underlying tensions to curb sales.
