Honeywell reached a $13 million settlement with the US Department of State over alleged violations of the Arms Export Control Act and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (better known as ITAR).
Honeywell agreed to the settlement on 3 May. The State Department has agreed to suspend $5 million of the penalty on the condition that the funds will be used for “remedial compliance measures to strengthen Honeywell’s compliance program”, it says.

Earlier this month, it was announced that Honeywell International, Inc. (Honeywell) had entered into a $13 million administrative settlement with the U.S. government to resolve allegations of export control violations related to aerospace and defense technical data (specifically engineering prints for castings and parts for aircraft, gas turbine engines, and military electronics). Following a self-disclosure by Honeywell to the federal government, the State Department alleged that the company committed 34 violations of the Arms Export Control Act (AECA) and International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) in connection with data exported to recipients in Canada, Mexico, Ireland, China, and Taiwan without required government approval.

Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has urged the United States of America, USA, not to sell arms to the Nigerian government.
Kanu in a letter to US President, Joe Biden, begged him to turn down the request by President Muhammadu Buhari, soliciting US military assistance to Nigeria.
The IPOB leader, in the letter, claimed that President Buhari had made Nigeria “the most dangerous country in the world.”
Kanu argued that Nigeria would turn any arms received from the US against innocent agitators of self-determination, who the country had unilaterally and unjustifiably branded terrorists.
