EO 143832026-02-06Trump

Establishing an America First Arms Transfer Strategy

This executive order establishes an 'America First Arms Transfer Strategy' that redirects U.S. arms sales policy to use foreign military purchases as a tool to expand domestic defense production capacity, streamline export processes, and prioritize sales to allies that invest in self-defense or contribute to U.S. economic security. It creates an interagency task force, sets multiple deadlines for strategy implementation, and amends a 2013 executive order to reassign congressional notification responsibilities between the Secretaries of War and State.

EO 142652025-04-09Trump

Modernizing Defense Acquisitions and Spurring Innovation in the Defense Industrial Base

This executive order mandates sweeping reforms to Pentagon procurement and the defense acquisition workforce to speed weapons development and cut bureaucratic redundancy. It requires plans within 60-180 days to streamline contracting, review major programs for potential cancellation if over cost or behind schedule, and retrain acquisition personnel. The order also imposes a ten-for-one deregulation rule on new defense acquisition regulations and targets the Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System for overhaul.
