Securing Global Telecommunications Act

Would have required a State Department strategy to promote secure telecom networks abroad and reports on China and Russia at the ITU.

Tradeoff

Would have required State Department plans and reports on secure telecom networks abroad, without new funding in the bill text. Focuses on countering Chinese firms such as Huawei in global networks.
