Securing Global Telecommunications Act

The Securing Global Telecommunications Act would require the U.S. government to create and submit a comprehensive strategy to promote secure telecommunications infrastructure worldwide, focusing on trusted technologies and vendors. The bill frames U.S. leadership in strategic technology as essential to national security and economic competitiveness, citing concerns about Chinese vendors (notably Huawei) gaining influence in global networks. It directs the Secretary of State to develop the strategy within 90 days, with input from multiple agencies, and to address mobile networks, data centers, 6G, and emerging connectivity methods like低-Earth orbit satellites. The act also requires reporting on efforts by Russia and China to tilt international governance bodies (notably the ITU) in ways favorable to authoritarian states, and it calls for multilateral coordination to expand collaboration with allies to finance and promote secure ICT infrastructure. In sum, the bill sets up a coordinated, US-led push to promote trusted technologies abroad, reduce dependence on untrusted vendors, and shape international governance and financing to support secure global networks.
