Original Note:
No, a new member country does not have to buy American weapons. Sweden just joined NATO and is free to keep buying and using Swedish/British Saab Jas 39 Gripen fighter jets, Hägglunds/Bofors CV90 armored veicles and Hägglunds/Bae Archer mobile artillery etc. https://www.wilsoncenter.org/article/swedens-contributions-nato-bolstering-alliances-defense-industry-and-air-capabilities
