It intends for the executive branch to advocate strongly on behalf of companies exporting defense items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Webster, who was President Barack Obama\u2019s last director of international cooperation at the Pentagon, called the policy \u201ca major first step toward improving government decision processes and policies.\u201d Aerospace and defense firms rely on innovation and U.S. government support to compete on a global scale, he noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The export council last month <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/global\/the-americas\/2018\/06\/19\/us-chamber-of-commerce-wants-trump-to-put-americas-defense-industry-first\/\" target=_blank>offered<\/a> some 30 recommendations on how to hardwire economic security and defense-industrial base considerations into the government\u2019s international arms sale decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe appreciate the administration\u2019s outreach throughout this process and are pleased to see DAEC priorities in the plan, including policy changes that will improve bid timeliness while reducing costs to industries, place emphasis on economic considerations in the federal transfer decision process, and expand trade promotion,&#8221; Webster said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The policy has attracted pushback from arms control advocates who say it risks fueling conflicts around the world and aiding regimes that do not respect human rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf the administration is serious about claims that these changes make for responsible policy, it should add much greater transparency into the arms transfer and monitoring process,\u201d Forum on the Arms Trade\u2019s founder and coordinator, Jeff Abramson, wrote last month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The U.S. leads the world in arms transfers, with $47 billion <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/digital-show-dailies\/farnborough\/2018\/07\/19\/america-has-sold-more-weapons-in-six-months-than-in-all-of-2017\/\" target=_blank>expected<\/a> so far this year, whereas the State Department approved $42 billion in government-to-government sales for all of 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDefense exports are good for our national security, they\u2019re good for our foreign policy. And they\u2019re good for our economic security. And as the administration and our leadership has said, economic security is national security,\u201d Lt. Gen. Charles Hooper, head of the Defense Security Cooperation Agency, said during the Farnborough International Airshow on July 18.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>Aaron Mehta in London
