“This law will empower the U.S. government to prevent certain foreign governments from using technology services provided in the U.S. in a way that poses a risk to sensitive U.S. data and our national security,” Sullivan said. said.

He said the White House looks forward to continuing to work with Democrats and Republicans on this bill and urges Congress to take action as soon as possible to send it to the president’s desk for signature.
