Report: Saudi Arabia Now Top Market for U.S. Weapons Firms 
-----------------------------------------------------------


 
A new report finds U.S. weapons manufacturers continue to dominate the
global arms trade, with Saudi Arabia replacing India as their top
market. According to IHS, the United States accounted for a third of the
more than $64 billion trade in military equipment last year. This year
Saudi Arabia will account for an estimated one of every seven dollars
spent on military imports.
