DISRUPT Act

Key Points

• This bill would require four federal departments (State, Defense, Treasury, and Commerce) to each set up a task force focused on how China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea are working together against U.S. interests. These task forces must report back to Congress within 180 days with recommendations for organizational changes.
• The Director of National Intelligence would have 60 days to deliver a classified report to Congress assessing the current state and five-year trajectory of cooperation among these four adversary nations, including risks to U.S. military capabilities, the dollar's dominance, and intelligence collection.
• Within 180 days, the Secretaries of State and Defense must submit a classified strategic plan to disrupt adversary cooperation, including bolstering deterrence in the Indo-Pacific, Europe, and the Middle East by increasing munitions stockpiles and supporting allies like Israel, Taiwan, and Ukraine.
• Congress finds that adversary cooperation is deepening in dangerous ways, including Iran supplying Russia with drones and missiles, North Korea sending troops to fight in Ukraine, and China providing dual-use goods that keep Russia's defense industry running despite sanctions.
• The bill also calls for modernizing Defense Department war-planning tools within one year and preparing for the possibility that a conflict with one adversary could draw in others, requiring the U.S. to face multiple threats at once.
