Buy America Amendment Scuttles Major Arms Deal
Congress approved a 70 billion defense bill with a Buy America amendment that could derail Britain's bid to build seven minesweepers for the U S Navy at 60.7 million. Senate 74-3 sent the measure to the White House after upholding a House amendment barring foreign shipyards. Critics warn it harms shipyards and U S Britain arms relations while supporters say it serves national economic interests.
