4. Perhaps this is not the correct forum for my idea, but...
it seems that the US is painting itself into a corner as far as tech deals are concerned. By denying buyers the right to resell (arguing that the tech in use in the item up for resale is security sensitive, etc.), it puts a chill on the market and it spurs development of alternatives to US made products/technology. The Europeans are busy with the launch of a GPS system that is equal to the US version, but more accessible, so to speak. The fact that Spain is pushing ahead with the deal indicates they feel they can guarantee the legitimacy of the buyer, Venezuela.
Why the US wants to deny the sale is obvious; Target Venezuela.
