  • If enacted, the executive order could lead to increased sales for major U.S. Defense contractors like Lockheed Martin, RTX Corp, and Boeing Co.
  • Trump's first term included actions that bypassed congressional reviews for weapons sales due to frustrations over delays related to human rights concerns.
