President Donald Trump signed a bill on Aug. 19 that aims to improve national security and transparency of the export control system by increasing oversight of American-made technologies being shipped to foreign nations.

The bill, the Maintaining American Superiority by Improving Export Control Transparency Act, amends the Export Control Reform Act of 2018 and requires Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to report annually to Congress on applications for dual-use export licenses.
