Lockheed owns the F-16, not Douglas (which is now owned by Boeing). By the way, these companies cannot go off on their own and set-up contracts with foreign countries on their own. Especially with anything near current technology involved. Everything is scrutinized by the government and approval/denial starts there.
My bad re: F-16 manufacturer. I know that these deals are pre-approved by our government but these decisions are made at the top and no matter how much national security protest emanates from the opposition the President gets his way more often than not. Just saying that I hope Trump re-examines them and puts a stop to it.

Which is why India in particular seldom buys US weaponry. We place too many restrictions on technology transfers & use. It’s not unusual for the US to cut off spare parts at precisely the time that India would need those planes. The Russians, French & Swedes tend to be more reliable partners.
