Lawmakers eventually passed the measure in late April following months of uncertainty amid resistance from isolationist Republicans aligned with ex-President Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe decision of Congress has overtaken us, but we\u2019re sticking with it,\u201d Pistorius told reporters on May 9, referring to the planned purchase that will cost Berlin roughly $30 million, as Der Spiegel reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ukrainian officials have described the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System, made by Lockheed Martin, as pivotal in repelling Russia\u2019s initial assault wave in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pistorius was on a trip to meet defense leaders in the United States and Canada this week, returning to Germany on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He came prepared with figures underlining the defense-industrial cooperation between Berlin and Washington, ties that he described as essential beyond the lofty talk of two democracies aligned on values. Germany has 380 contracts with U.S. defense companies, amounting to \u20ac23 billion, or $25 billion, Pistorius said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Big-ticket U.S. weapons ordered by Germany in recent years include Lockheed\u2019s F-35 fighter jet, Boeing\u2019s P-8 Poseidon maritime-surveillance aircraft and Chinook transport helicopters, as well as Raytheon\u2019s Patriot air-defense system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The swap follows through on a workaround designed when the fate of a $61 billion bill for military aid to Ukraine was still
