Tillis Co-Sponsors Bill to Quickly Replenish U.S. Defense Stockpiles After Providing Aid to Allies Like Ukraine

Press Release

Recently, U.S. Senator Thom Tillis (R-NC) co-sponsored the Securing American Acquisitions, Readiness, and Military Stockpiles Act (Securing American ARMS Act), which would give the Department of Defense (DoD) enhanced procurement authorities to quickly refill American defense stockpiles after the President provides aid to an ally or partner attacked by a foreign adversary, including replenishing America's stockpiles after lethal aid was sent to Ukraine for defense against Russia.

"It is crucial that the United States support our allies as we have done with Ukraine, and it is equally important that we refill our own defense stockpiles,"said Senator Tillis. "I am proud to support this commonsense legislation to ensure our nation is protected and ready to defend itself if necessary."
