The Trump administration wants to make it easier for American manufacturers to sell guns, including assault rifles, and ammunition overseas, Reuters reported Tuesday.

The wire service reported Trump aides are working on a plan to put the Commerce Department in charge of international, non-military firearms sales. Currently, the State Department is in charge of those sales.

The State Department typically is most concerned about threats to stability abroad and tightly controls weapons deals. The Commerce Department is more concerned with allowing trade to go ahead, the report stated.
