Well, canceling a Tomahawk sale seems appropriate. Germany has demobilized itself to be not even a credible force on the battlefield. What purpose would long-range weapons serve? (I assume we are talking about conventional Tomahawk, not nuclear-armed Tomahawk.)
Similar logic for Finland, but not identical. The U.S. version is nuclear-weapon capable, but that is a matter of electronic control interfaces. Remove the interfaces and it is de-nuclearized. We seldom, if ever, provide recipients with the full-up U.S. version of any fighter we sell. They often like to plug in their own avionics, and use their own weapons.
