Boeing: U.S. government doesn't want company to threaten F-35 in international fighter market
Speaking to reporters, Chris Chadwick, president of Boeing's military aircraft division said the Obama administration is asking the company not to actively market its fighters to international partners in the F-35 program.

Chadwick said he would like to see the U.S. government "unequivocally let international customers know that, no matter what capability or product they would like, the U.S. (government) stands behind it and will support their decision as a sovereign country."

"That would make my week," he added. But "that's just not the approach they take in the international arena."
