There is a need to improve the effectiveness of export controls, such a measure will help deter Russia from “aggressive and dangerous actions,” Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Export Control Thea Kendler said during a speech at the Massachusetts Export Expo 2022. WorldECR magazine reports.

The assistant minister announced the intention of the Ministry of Commerce to introduce enhanced export controls to counter US geopolitical rivals such as Russia and China. This was seriously thought about after a new increase in tension and signals about the strengthening of Russian-Chinese cooperation.

“First, the US must use export controls to ensure that technological innovations are not directed to destructive ends that would harm national security. We intend to use export controls effectively to counter the Chinese military-civilian integration program, as well as to deter Russia from aggressive and dangerous actions,” Kendler said.

The assistant secretary also hopes that the Department of Commerce’s export control will ensure that the authorities do not interfere with the technological leadership of private companies, and thus resources and personnel can return to the United States for further research and future innovation.
