13 Jul 2023
In early June 2023, legislation was proposed in the U.S. Congress to amend the U.S. Arms Export Control Act to provide an exemption for licensing of defence items for export to the United Kingdom (U.K.).

On 8 June 2023, the White House announced the “Atlantic Declaration” as a “Twenty-First Century U.S.-U.K. Economic Partnership to ensure that our unique alliance is adapted, reinforced, and reimagined for the challenges of this moment.”

And on 28 June 2023, the U.S. announced their agreement with the U.K., Australia, Canada, and New Zealand –to formally coordinate on the enforcement of each country’s export control regimes.
