It's the same thing as the banks. Yes, if you want to do business in Canada, you have to follow Canadian banking regulations. Trump complains we don't allow US banks to do business in Canada - yes, we do, and they DO do business in Canada, but shock of all shocks, you have to obey the law here. In his world, US law is the only valid law.

For example- if I was the US I’d be like okay fine, then pay us the delta to keep us whole on your spending if you can’t actually spend in a military sense to your commitment.

What they'll actually do, it seems to me, is say, "OK, as long as your spending to meet that commitment is procured from US companies, you have until X date. What a coincidence, X date is how long it will take for those companies to fulfill your order."
