A bipartisan pair of senators introduced a bill aimed at better enforcing export controls that so far have failed to stem the flow of sensitive technology to US adversaries.
The plan, from Senators Mitt Romney and Maggie Hassan, would create a center to coordinate efforts to stop the shipment of US semiconductors, artificial intelligence and quantum technology to countries such as China, Russia, Iran and North Korea. The legislation would seek to fund the center with $25 million in fiscal year 2025.
