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.
Modernizing Defense Acquisitions and Spurring Innovation in the Defense Industrial Base

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.
