President Trump is preparing to reinterpret a decades-old arms control treaty to allow wider international sales of advanced U.S. military drones, Reuters’ Mike Stone reports. The change could approve Saudi Arabia’s request for over 100 MQ-9 “Reaper” drones, part of a larger $142B arms deal, while also opening sales to allies in Europe and the Pacific. Under the new policy, drone makers like General Atomics, Kratos (KTOS), and Anduril would have their products streamlined as Foreign Military Sales, marking the start of a broader review of U.S. arms exports, according to a U.S. official. Other military drone manufacturing companies include Lockheed Martin (LMT), Northrop Grumman (NOC), AeroVironment (AVAV), RTX (RTX), and BAE Systems (BAESY).
