Pentagon, diplomats to help drum up arms sales: report

President Trump will reportedly unveil a new proposal that asks U.S. diplomats and military attaches to provide additional support to increase American arms sales.

According to Reuters, Trump as soon as February may reveal a “whole-of-government” approach to reduce export regulations placed on countries that buy American-made weapons such as drones, artillery and fighter jets.

“We want to see those guys, the commercial and military attaches, unfettered to be salesmen for this stuff, to be promoters,” the official said.

An official with the State Department, meanwhile, said the new strategy “gives our partners a greater capacity to help share the burden of international security, benefits the defense industrial base and will provide more good jobs for American workers.”
