Bill > S1883

This bill, known as the DISRUPT Act, aims to develop a comprehensive government strategy to address and mitigate growing cooperation among four countries considered primary adversaries of the United States: China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea. The legislation requires multiple federal agencies, including the State Department, Defense Department, Treasury, Commerce Department, and intelligence agencies, to establish task forces to analyze and respond to the increasing alignment between these nations. Each agency must create a task force comprising experts on these countries and submit reports detailing the nature, risks, and potential impacts of their cooperation across diplomatic, military, economic, and technological domains. The bill highlights specific concerns such as weapons transfers, technology sharing, joint military exercises, and efforts to circumvent US economic sanctions. Key objectives include disrupting dangerous aspects of cooperation between these adversaries, constraining their global influence, and preparing the United States for potential simultaneous challenges in multiple theaters. The legislation mandates reports assessing the trajectory of adversary cooperation, identifying vulnerabilities in their relationships, and developing strategic approaches to bolster US deterrence, including increasing munitions stockpiles, improving war-planning tools, and enhancing cooperation with allies. Ultimately, the bill seeks to comprehensively understand and counteract the growing strategic partnership among these nations that could pose significant threats to US national security interests.
