This American offer follows the RTA’s announcement last month about forming a selection panel to choose between Sweden’s Gripen fighter jets and the US’s F-16s.

And this is the true reason for US to push this outdated 50+ year old airframe.....

It's equivalent to Sweden offering J37 Viggen with updated electronics.
