Securing Global Telecommunications Act
Introduced Jul 17, 2025 by Rep. William R. Keating
It's waiting on a committee vote to reach the full chamber. Most bills never leave this stage.
This bill requires the Department of State to develop and submit to Congress a strategy to promote the use of secure telecommunication infrastructure in countries other than the United States.
The State Department must also report to Congress on (1) efforts by China and Russia to advance authoritarian interests or oppose fair, industry-led processes at the International Telecommunication Union, the U.N. agency involved with setting telecommunications standards and related regulatory activities; and (2) opportunities for greater collaboration with allies and partners to promote secure information and communications technology infrastructure in countries other than the United States.
Summary by the Congressional Research Service.
No floor votes yet — it hasn't reached the floor of either chamber.
