I could.

My nation is a fascist state based on the Polish-Lithuaninian Commonwealth, the USA, and a fictional and industrialized version of the Holy Roman Empire.

It has massive industry but needs to import raw materials like oil, which they might trade weaponry and such for if it was to an ally. But in general, as fascists they have the goal of economic independence and some tariffs and other protections in place to support this. So they won't trade for what they don't need, and they certainly don't want to trade more than necessary. They'd see supplying you with weapons more as foreign aid to an ally.
