US would review certain foreign tech for national security risks to protect Americans.
This bill would require national security agencies to review communications equipment and services from six specific foreign companies and their partners. The goal is to determine if they pose a national security risk to the U.S. or its people. If a risk is found, or if no review happens, the equipment could be added to a list that restricts its use in the U.S.
Currently, there is an existing "covered list" of communications equipment deemed a national security risk, but no specific requirement to review the particular companies named in this bill. This bill would create a mandatory review process for six named foreign companies and their partners. It would also ensure their equipment is added to a restricted list if a risk is found or if agencies fail to act. Additionally, it would require a specific review for their status as Chinese military companies.
