Such research includes work on artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and quantum information science. Foreign sources include the governments of Venezuela, North Korea, Iran, China, Cuba, Turkey, Russia, and Qatar, along with entities they create, own at least 25 percent of, or act through. The Secretary of State could add other countries to the list.
