Allied Defense Sales Act

This bill requires the State Department to create and carry out a plan to get other countries more involved in a system where the U.S. sells military equipment or services to one main country, which then passes them along to other approved countries. The State Department would also have to regularly update Congress on how the plan is going. The plan should build on work the State Department is already doing, like finding countries that could lead these group purchases, figuring out how countries that don't qualify for certain military loans can still take part, and dealing with challenges related to existing weapons export laws. It also asks the State Department to look for chances to create military products that can be sold to allies, including in support of the security partnership between Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
