German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius and US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth signed a letter of intent on September 15 aimed at deepening cooperation between their countries' defence industries.

Pistorius said the arrangement should help expand industrial capacity and that details still need to be developed. He also said work remained on a planned German purchase of Tomahawk cruise missiles. The letter establishes direction; it is not itself a completed procurement contract or a production schedule.
