Ask yourself; why does the US have to approve this?

You can actually look it up. Munitions cannot be sold or transferred without the consent of the fabricating country. Asking yourself is so much better when you've got facts!
Because we made the things and only lease them to other countries? Mainly cause other countries don't want the full maintenance costs of our platforms.
I don't know that is the case, but it seems like a fairly logical way to ensure that our platforms don't get sold on the black market by anyone other than US
