Referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and in addition to the Committees on Armed Services, and Intelligence (Permanent Select), for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
The DISRUPT Act requires the executive branch to develop a comprehensive strategy to counter the growing military, diplomatic, and economic cooperation between China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea—four nations identified as the foremost adversaries of the United States. Within 60 days of passage, the State Department, Defense Department, Treasury Department, and Commerce Department must each establish task forces with subject matter experts to assess how this adversary alignment affects their operations and recommend organizational changes. Additionally, the Director of National Intelligence must submit a classified report within 60 days analyzing the current nature and future trajectory of cooperation among these four countries and the resulting risks to U.S. security interests, while the Secretaries of State and Defense must deliver a detailed strategic plan within 180 days outlining how the United States will disrupt this cooperation, strengthen alliances, improve economic sanctions enforcement, boost military deterrence in priority regions, and address intelligence vulnerabilities. The bill contains no specific funding authorization but directs significant interagency coordination and strategic planning to counter what Congress views as an unprecedented alignment of U.S. adversaries.
