Bipartisan US legislation aimed at eliminating Chinese telecoms infrastructure in central and eastern Europe is gaining momentum as more representatives signed on as cosponsors and a Senate version was introduced.
Democratic representatives Ted Lieu of California and Brad Schneider of Illinois joined 30 other cosponsors of the Transatlantic Telecommunications Security Act this week, which would authorise the US International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) to identify projects from Austria and Greece to Ukraine and Moldova to support in conjunction with counterpart agencies in Europe.
