Introduce and work to enact legislation that bans CCP-sponsored companies from U.S. defense contracts and prohibits Chinese nationals from operating trucks carrying Department of War cargo.

Today, Congresswoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY), Chairwoman of House Republican Leadership, and Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) introduced the Trucking Security and CCP Disclosure Act to ban Communist Chinese entities from receiving sensitive U.S. transportation contracts, while also prohibiting Chinese nationals from operating trucks carrying Department of War (DoW) cargo.

The introduced bill text would require certifications for Department of Defense freight contracts and establish a secure defense freight carrier registry, including screening for ties to Chinese military companies and foreign adversary entities.
