Episode Description from the Publisher

Balancing the supply and demand of US military sales and procurement is never easy, but amidst the fighting with Iran and the ongoing war in Ukraine, that calculous is incredibly tight. What is the current state of play for US military sales and acquisition? How is this changing under President Trump? What does this mean for US allies and partners? Former US Acting Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Policy Cara Abercrombie joined the podcast to discuss these questions and what they mean for the future of US defence procurement. Cara recently visited Australia as part of the Women in the Alliance program.Subscribe to the USSC Briefing Room on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and YouTube. Produced by: Elliott BrennanMusic by Dan Phillipson, licensed through PremiumBeat
