Defense Trade Cooperation Treaty

The Defense Trade Cooperation Treaty is an international agreement between the United States and Australia that streamlines the export process for defense-related products and technology. It facilitates faster approval and transfer of military equipment, research, and information, helping both countries collaborate more effectively on defense projects. By aligning export controls, it aims to strengthen their strategic partnership while maintaining security and compliance standards. Essentially, it makes it easier and more efficient for both nations to work together on defense initiatives without compromising their security protocols.
