EJ200 and Snecma M-88 have multiple variants, including some proposals for increased thrust and even thrust-vectoring. The specific thrust available depends on the varient selected and the characterisics of the aircraft (intakes etc can affect net thrust)

So it would theoretically be possible to use european engines for Gripen... ?! That would be a smart move. Orherwise the US is controlling all sales on Gripen.

It's not just the engine: any system with so much as a US manufactured fuse comes under the same ITAR regime. Europe needs to make products that have no US components at all, nor software. Compatibility - yes, not an issue, but not beholden to the US. Biden feared escalation; Trump exploits the rule
