U.S.-UK Defense Trade Cooperation Treaty

The U.S. Senate ratified the U.S.-UK Defense Trade Cooperation Treaty on September 29, 2010. The treaty creates Approved Communities of government and private sector entities that may receive defense articles and defense services under the treaty. Under the treaty, it is possible for most U.S. defense articles to be exported into, and within, these communities without prior licenses or other authorizations pursuant to the ITAR if certain conditions are met.
