US signs off on AUKUS tech trade reforms


A licence-free environment for AUKUS technology transfer will come into effect next month after the three nations finalised legislative reforms that unlock billions of dollars in defence exports.

The Biden Administration will on Friday morning (AEDT) formally certify legislation exempting Australia and the United Kingdom from US export control licensing requirements from September 1.

The move, foreshadowed during AUSMIN talks last week, will end a two-year-long process to reform the legislative and regulatory barriers that stood in the way of AUKUS tech and information sharing.
