• US President Donald Trump issued a new executive order on foreign arms sales.
• The order tasks departments with conducting reviews on arms transfer stakeholders.
• A new 'sales catalog' may be created to encourage allies to buy US-produced weapons.
• The order calls for improved transparency and quarterly performance metrics.

This executive order may signal a shift in the US approach to arms sales, with a focus on economic and industrial aspects. The creation of a 'sales catalog' and improved transparency could indicate a more streamlined process, but the impact on international sales and US industry remains uncertain.
