US President Donald Trump signed an executive order establishing the 'America First Arms Transfer Strategy', which prioritizes the sale of US weapons to countries with higher defense spending and strategic importance.

The new strategy directs federal agencies to prioritize foreign military sales to partners that have invested substantially in their own self-defense capabilities and occupy critical roles or geographies. The move is expected to streamline bureaucratic processes, reduce delays, and improve transparency in US arms sales.
