According to SIPRI data, 15% of US major conventional weapons transfers between 2016-2020 were to fellow-NATO members, many of whom have joined the US in some or all of its recent wars. The largest NATO recipient was the UK, with 4.0% of all US exports over the period, followed by Norway with 2.8%, Italy (2.5%), the Netherlands (2.4%) and Turkey (1.1%).

According to Department of Defense data, the US agreed $51.3 billion worth of Foreign Military Sales agreements with NATO members from 2016-20, led by Poland ($10.8 billion), the UK ($7.6 billion), Belgium ($5.7 billion), the Netherlands ($3.8 billion), and Romania ($3.3 billion). As with US allies in the Asia Pacific, sales of F-35 stealth combat aircraft have been among the largest recent deals to numerous NATO members, including the UK.
