Strengthening Alliances and Partnerships through Defense Cooperation

​Both the U.S. Departments of State and Defense are undertaking significant reforms to modernize policies and processes for defense trade with foreign military partners. This public event will feature key U.S. government leaders for implementing this reform and provide an opportunity to critically examine how the Trump Administration plans to leverage defense trade to enhance U.S. global competitiveness as a strategic tool of U.S. foreign policy.

This event is made possible through CSIS general funding.
