USA 6G Global Leadership Act

This bill would make the State Department's Ambassador at Large for Cyberspace and Digital Policy responsible for leading U.S. diplomatic efforts before the 2026 International Telecommunications Union (ITU) Plenipotentiary Conference and the 2027 World Radiocommunication Conference. The Ambassador would coordinate federal agencies to promote ITU leadership candidates, consult with private companies, and give Congress quarterly briefings; these duties would end when the 2027 conference concludes. The Secretary of State would report to Congress within 90 days on Chinese and Russian efforts to influence the ITU, and would also submit a U.S. strategy for 6G technology. The bill also directs the State Department to prioritize telecommunications projects in developing countries that use trusted vendors and U.S. technology, supported through feasibility studies, loans, or direct investments.
