Commerce secretary must report recommendations to boost foreign purchases of U.S. defense products within 120 days

The White House issued an executive order establishing an "America First Arms Transfer Strategy" directing the Secretary of War, Secretary of State, and Secretary of Commerce to prioritize U.S. arms sales to strengthen the domestic defense industrial base and use foreign procurement to expand American production capacity. The order sets deadlines (30–120 days) for producing a prioritized sales catalog, industry engagement plans, and recommendations on Foreign Military Sales (FMS), Direct Commercial Sales, and Third-Party Transfer processes. It creates a Promoting American Military Sales Task Force to coordinate implementation and requires quarterly public performance metrics on FMS and export license adjudication.
