Just guessing, but:
1. They both have money to pay.
2. Neither of them are likely to pose a significant threat to the US.
3. If the US sells to one country and not the other, then the one not receiving planes will have a reason to be pissed at us.
4. If the US refuses to sell to both countries, they'll both be pissed and uncooperative in other ways.
Actually I'm not even sure the US government actually sells the planes anyway - it might be the manufacturer, a private company, selling these items.
