Romania Secures $2.5B Deal for Abrams Tanks from US
TL;DR
The United States has approved a $2.53 billion sale of M1A2 Abrams tanks and related equipment to Romania, a NATO ally that shares a border with conflict-racked Ukraine. The sale aims to improve Romania's security and capability to deter adversaries, as well as support NATO operations. This comes as the US has been increasing military aid and sales to Ukraine and its allies in response to the ongoing Russian invasion. The transaction still requires approval from Congress.
