Congressman Derek Tran’s Statement on the DETERRENT Act

Washington, DC – Congressman Derek Tran issued the following statement after the House passed the DETERRENT Act (H.R.1048):

“American universities are indispensable resources to drive innovation and keep our country strong. In medicine, defense, agriculture, technology, and so much more, institutions of higher learning keep American companies ahead of their global competitors and ensure that our national security apparatus is second to none. I voted yes on the DETERRENT Act to ensure that malign actors like the Chinese Communist Party can’t influence or steal these innovations developed on our shores.”
