U.S. would sanction those who sabotage undersea internet cables and energy pipelines.
This bill would allow the U.S. to impose sanctions on foreign individuals or groups who sabotage critical undersea internet cables and energy pipelines. It would also create a new government committee to better protect undersea internet cables and improve how the government shares threat information with private companies that own them.
Today, the U.S. government lacks a single, coordinated way to protect critical undersea internet cables and energy pipelines, and there's no specific law for sanctions against those who sabotage them. If this bill becomes law, the U.S. would create a new interagency committee to lead these efforts, assign at least 10 new staff to the State Department for this work, and impose sanctions on foreign individuals or groups responsible for sabotage.
