Digital Trade Promotion Act 2025: New Rules for Global Digital Economy

This act empowers the President to negotiate international digital trade agreements, aiming to streamline online sales of goods and services across borders. It seeks to support U.S. businesses, protect data and intellectual property, and promote an open internet, potentially influencing the availability and cost of digital products for citizens.
Key points
Support for Businesses and Jobs: Facilitating digital trade is intended to help U.S. companies, including small and medium-sized enterprises, export digital products and services, potentially creating new jobs.
Data Protection and Privacy: Agreements aim to ensure the free flow of data while protecting citizens' privacy and data security, which is crucial in the digital age.
Combating Discrimination and Censorship: The act seeks to counter practices by other countries that restrict internet access, force technology transfers, or impose censorship, potentially ensuring greater online freedom for citizens.
No Customs Duties on Digital Services: Agreements are intended to prohibit customs duties on electronic transmissions and digital content, which could mean lower costs for consumers using online services.
