TRUST Act

This bill would bar people who are nationals of certain foreign adversary countries, as defined in an existing section of federal military law, from enlisting in the U.S. Armed Forces. It would also bar appointment as a commissioned officer of anyone who was a national of one of those countries during the five years before the appointment. These rules would apply to first-time enlistments and appointments starting 180 days after the bill becomes law. Within one year, the Secretary of Defense would have to report to Congress on current service members from those countries who were permanent residents when they joined, including their years of service and whether they are seeking citizenship.
