Streamlining Defense Trade and Military Cooperation with Australia, UK, and Canada
This Act speeds up the exchange of military equipment and services between the US, Australia, the UK, and Canada by expanding the expedited review process for export licenses. This reduces bureaucracy in transferring defense technology among key allies, aiming to improve the efficiency of defense cooperation and equipment maintenance. Furthermore, the US government must regularly review the list of strictly controlled technologies to remove items no longer critical for national security.
