US Navy can build warships in NATO countries for lower costs.

New rules allow the US Navy to build ships in NATO member shipyards if it's cheaper than in the US. This could impact defense spending and international relations, potentially saving taxpayer money.
Key points
The US Navy is now authorized to construct naval vessels in shipyards located in NATO member countries.
This is permitted only if the construction cost is lower than in a domestic US shipyard.
The aim is to reduce the overall cost of naval vessel construction.
