A bipartisan group of lawmakers, led by reps. Mike Waltz and Seth Moulton, will review steps Congress can take to speed up the US government’s process for approving major Arms Sales to foreign countries. The TIGER task force will bring together experts from the US State Department, Pentagon, and defense industry to issue recommendations for legislative consideration. The move comes amid concerns over tens of billions of dollars in backlogged requests for Foreign Arms transfers, particularly air defense and counter-drone systems, and fears of a potential military invasion of Taiwan by China.
