OK, now you're engaging in over exaggerations. Many of those purchases would occur with or without EXIM financing.

Did you not see that Atlas Air, a U.S. company, had $864 million in there?

I did. You understand that they aren't supposed to be eligible for EXIM loans/guarantees because they're a US company, right?
But I oppose the UAE receiving any EXIM money; they are not who the program was set up for. And I'm sure you know that.
