S 3399: Digital Trade Promotion Act of 2025

The Digital Trade Promotion Act of 2025 authorizes the President to negotiate digital trade agreements with trusted international partners, focusing on key provisions like free cross-border data flows, prohibitions on discriminatory taxes for digital services, and protection against forced technology transfers. These agreements would directly benefit U.S. businesses, workers, and small-to-medium enterprises in the digital economy by removing trade barriers for digital goods and services. The bill also establishes congressional oversight requirements, including 60-day notice before negotiations begin, a detailed report before signing, and a 30-day review period during which Congress can disapprove an agreement via a joint resolution. It emphasizes aligning digital trade rules with U.S. values like privacy, cybersecurity cooperation, and an open internet, without creating new domestic regulations.
