The U.S. is shaking the iron fist to countries wanting to sell planes to Venezuela. They have refused to supply spare parts for their F-16’s and is preparing to ban Brazil from selling twelve Tucano’s. They have told Spain that they cannot sell 10 C-295’s and 2 CN-235’s and Spain has said that they are going ahead with the sale. Venezuela has threatened to buy the planes that it needs from China or Russia.
