CFM, CFM56 and the CFM logo are all trademarks of CFM International, a 50/50 Joint company of Snecma (SAFRAN Group) and General Electric.

NG-EADS bid the General Electric CF6-80 for their KC-45, not the CFM-56 that the KC-135R currently uses. Boeing bid the PW-4062 last time around.

And many parts of the 767 are made outside of the US.

Whose only product is the CFM-56, an engine in the 18-34,000lb range. And yes GE builds them to power the Boeing KC-135R and Boeing P-8

However the NorthropGrumman/EADS KC330/KC-45 needs engines of 72000lb thrust. They are General Electric CF6-80s
