WEBVTT 00:00.319 --> 00:02.609 On November 7th , we laid out the 00:02.609 --> 00:04.331 Department of War's vision for 00:04.331 --> 00:06.109 strengthening the defense sales 00:06.109 --> 00:08.220 enterprise . Today we're turning that 00:08.220 --> 00:10.350 vision into decisive action driven by 00:10.350 --> 00:12.210 President Trump's groundbreaking 00:12.210 --> 00:15.119 America First arms transfer strategy . 00:15.609 --> 00:18.270 This executive order is our mandate 00:18.489 --> 00:20.433 leverage America's record breaking 00:20.433 --> 00:22.610 defense sales to revitalize our 00:22.610 --> 00:24.930 industrial base and support our 00:24.930 --> 00:28.290 partners . On nearly every overseas 00:28.290 --> 00:30.457 trip that I take , the demand is clear 00:30.457 --> 00:32.610 every single time our allies want to 00:32.610 --> 00:34.721 buy the world's most lethal weapons , 00:35.209 --> 00:37.540 American weapons . The president has 00:37.540 --> 00:39.318 secured the deals and now we're 00:39.318 --> 00:41.159 ensuring the system can actually 00:41.159 --> 00:44.349 deliver . We didn't wait to act . Last 00:44.349 --> 00:46.349 fall , I established an interagency 00:46.349 --> 00:48.571 task force right here to start tackling 00:48.571 --> 00:50.571 these challenges . Everybody wanted 00:50.571 --> 00:52.682 weapons , but we couldn't get them to 00:52.682 --> 00:54.682 them fast enough . And today , as a 00:54.682 --> 00:56.849 demonstration of our progress on these 00:56.849 --> 00:59.016 issues , I'm proud to share that we've 00:59.016 --> 01:00.849 completed the realignment of the 01:00.849 --> 01:03.071 Defense Security Cooperation Agency and 01:03.071 --> 01:04.849 the Defense Technology Security 01:04.849 --> 01:06.960 Administration within our acquisition 01:06.960 --> 01:09.720 and sustainment team led by this man 01:09.720 --> 01:12.470 right here , the Undersecretary Mike 01:12.550 --> 01:14.661 Duffy . Mike , good to see you . Good 01:14.661 --> 01:16.883 to see you , Mr . Secretary . Thanks to 01:16.883 --> 01:18.939 you . This realignment has created a 01:18.939 --> 01:20.606 single coherent defense sales 01:20.606 --> 01:22.772 enterprise within the department . One 01:22.772 --> 01:24.994 that moves at the speed of war but with 01:24.994 --> 01:26.994 the purpose of deterring aggression 01:26.994 --> 01:29.217 coupled with this new executive order , 01:29.217 --> 01:31.272 we're now positioned to leverage the 01:31.272 --> 01:33.383 total aggregated global demand for US 01:33.383 --> 01:35.606 weapons to grow our nation's industrial 01:35.606 --> 01:37.661 might while maintaining the American 01:37.661 --> 01:39.717 warfighters' technological edge . We 01:39.717 --> 01:41.772 proactively target sales that unlock 01:41.772 --> 01:43.800 foreign investment to help power 01:43.800 --> 01:45.879 critical production lines , fueling 01:45.879 --> 01:47.379 companies to invest in new 01:47.379 --> 01:49.720 manufacturing plants , hire more 01:49.720 --> 01:51.720 engineers , and create thousands of 01:51.720 --> 01:54.260 well-paying American jobs , all while 01:54.440 --> 01:56.607 better equipping our partners to share 01:56.607 --> 01:58.709 the burden of their own conventional 01:58.709 --> 02:00.542 defense . Well done , Mike . I'm 02:00.542 --> 02:02.709 telling you this guy's brain should be 02:02.709 --> 02:04.876 designated as a weapon . At the end of 02:04.876 --> 02:06.931 the day , when we promise to provide 02:06.931 --> 02:08.931 American military capabilities , we 02:08.931 --> 02:11.098 must deliver . And thanks to President 02:11.098 --> 02:13.265 Trump's leadership , these efforts are 02:13.265 --> 02:12.889 game changers for the way we do 02:12.889 --> 02:15.470 business with our allies and partners 02:15.770 --> 02:17.729 around the globe . More and better 02:17.729 --> 02:19.649 weapons delivered faster for our 02:19.649 --> 02:21.449 warfighters and our allies .
