US weapons sales overseas rose sharply last year, reaching a record total of $238bn, as war of Ukraine stoked demand.
The US government directly negotiated $81bn in sales, a 56% increase from 2022, the state department reported.
The rest were direct sales by US defense companies to foreign nations.
Ukraine's neighbor Poland, currently on a drive to expand its military, made some of the biggest purchases.
