Defense and Security Cooperation Agency

In a significant move to bolster its defense capabilities, Romania has received approval from the US State Department for the acquisition of dozens of M1A2 Abrams main battle tanks. The deal, valued at around .53 billion, is pending final approval from Congress, marking a substantial step in Romania's efforts to enhance its military capabilities.

This proposed sale would support the foreign policy and national security objectives of the United States by helping to improve the security of a North Atlantic Treaty Organization ally.
