Russia Today - Sales of U.S. arms have doubled during last year and now account for more than two-thirds of all foreign weapons sales, according to a report by the New York Times. Citing a new Congressional study, the newspaper reported that in 2008, the U.S. signed arms agreements to the value of $37.8 billion, or 68.4% of all global arms business. The jump came amid a 7.6% fall in worldwide sales, which last year totaled $55.2 billion. According to the report, most of the U.S. arms contracts were signed with developing countries.
