#6  Thinking a bit outside the box, Trump could probably wicker a trade. Say 100-150
U.S. made EGBU-27 smart bombs for 5-10 Russian-supplied RD-180 space exploration engines. Volume discounts, bonus points, etc.

Let the bidding begin.

#1  Russia isn't as worried about collateral damage as the U.S. , so why go through expense of using laser guided weapons.
