The Trump administration is considering issuing an executive order to pressure military contractors to reduce share buybacks and dividends, and invest more money in infrastructure construction and arms production. According to a source familiar with the matter, the proposed executive order will require companies to link executive remuneration to the overall performance level of specific equipment delivery. The wording of this executive order may prompt the Pentagon to review how to implement relevant requirements for military enterprises, and its enforceability is still unclear. This move can be described as an unconventional intervention by the US government in corporate affairs.
