Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. This Act may be cited as the ``Targeted Restrictions Upholding Service Trustworthiness Act'' or ``TRUST Act''. SEC. 2. FINDINGS. Congress finds the following: (1) The Armed Forces represent the ultimate defense of the United States and the integrity, security, and undivided loyalty of members of the Armed Forces is paramount to national security. (2) Allowing foreign nationals from countries with interests that are adversary to the United States to serve in the Armed Forces of the United States creates an unacceptable risk of espionage, sabotage, unwarranted foreign influence, and compromise of sensitive information, technology, and operations. (3) The existing process for assessing the loyalty of foreign nationals, while comprehensive, is insufficient to mitigate the inherent and systemic risk posed by individuals with ties to foreign adversary governments.
