The Extra Protection Articles (EDA) grant the president sole energy to make use of a overseas nation as his private arms vendor. The president might deem what’s our “army surplus,” assign it a price or no worth, and present it to a overseas nation beneath the situation that they transport the “surplus” to the president’s designated goal. Whereas the regulation locations the switch max at $500 million, the president might merely declare the excess to be nugatory.
