Not so. Many French planes have been exported over the years. You can always expect them to be viable machines, whether fixed wing or helicopter.
I assume he was talking about US military sales. It's been quite a while since a military operator other than the coast guard has bought a French plane (, the Army's UH-72 is technically German/Japanese).
