"You could say that..." he'd softly sigh, "We can only hope it goes well.
Whilst we're talking, Ziron have announced their commencing of the Joint Strike Fighter Program. They will be soon starting to sell the F-35A to Australia as the first steps as no ISAF Member State has asked to purchase any. Does America have any plans for any new F-35 series procurement?"

"We have been considering it, would you be able to tell me a price on the aircraft?"

"Of course.

F-35A is 100mn Export Cost.
F-35B is 132mn Export Cost.
F-35C is 130mn Export Cost.

With these, we can offer very generous repayment packages. We're aware of their cost, but their supply is limited with only the UK and US that have any in operation right now, supplying them in bulk and entering service is something that we could foresee as a long-term business plan for both our countries."

"Whilst this is very interesting, would it be completely unreasonable for us to ask for negotiations on whether we can produce the aircraft locally in the US?"

"We would be able to offer Domestic Production Rights to build the aircraft. Any spare parts to maintain the aircraft would still be provided directly from the UK. However, each variant is unique in it's own production. Therefore, please find the prices for DPR's below:

F-35A: 8bn
F-35B: 18bn
F-35C: 15bn

This also implies the condition that these will not be sold by yourselves, but only for local production for your armed forces. We would of course accommodate installment charges."

"That seems a little expensive based on how many we were hoping to order. Although we have no exact number of which we want to buy"

"In that case, I would suggest buying on a unit-by-unit basis.
The expense is something we're aware of, as Britain too invested in the F-35 series which is the most expensive variant.
However, the instalment deals should help cover this and we would work in cooperation with yourself.. it is a Joint Fighter afterall. I foresee it could be a few-year upgrade process, potentially starting with the F-35A and then outwards? As a progressive economic agreement."

"Well, to start off, we would be interested in purchasing ten F-35As and pay outright for them."

"That'd be at 900mn for the initial ten. If you transfer the money, we can begin construction immediately; we've took the price of one F-35 away in good faith for your purchase."
