Today, U.S. Representatives Young Kim (R-CA) and Joyce Beatty (D-OH) introduced the Strengthening Exports Against China Act (SEACA), a bipartisan and bicameral bill that would promote U.S. competitiveness in emerging technologies, with companion legislation introduced in the U.S. Senate by Senators Mike Rounds (R-SD) and Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV). Below is a statement from Open RAN Policy Coalition Executive Director Diane Rinaldo:
“The Open RAN Policy Coalition applauds Representatives Young Kim (R-CA) and Joyce Beatty (D-OH) and Senators Mike Rounds (R-SD) and Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) for their legislation that would maximize the utility of the Export-Import Bank’s tools to promote the use of trusted vendors in critical sectors around the world, ensuring a more secure future in America and abroad. We are committed to supporting efforts that enhance national security, drive innovation, and promote a trusted global supply chain for advanced wireless technologies. This bill is an important step toward those goals, and we look forward to working with our allies and partners who share this commitment.”
