Krishnamoorthi, Moylan Lead House Introduction of Bipartisan Bill to Disrupt Growing Alignment Among U.S. Adversaries

WASHINGTON – Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi, Ranking Member of the House Select Committee on the Strategic Competition Between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party, and Representative James Moylan (R-GU) today announced they are co-leading House introduction of the Defending International Security by Restricting Unlawful Partnerships and Tactics (DISRUPT) Act of 2025, companion legislation to the bipartisan bill introduced in the Senate by Senators Chris Coons (D-DE) and David McCormick (R-PA). 

The DISRUPT Act addresses the growing cooperation among the People’s Republic of China (PRC), Russia, Iran, and North Korea, which poses unprecedented challenges to U.S. national security. This emerging alignment includes expanded weapons and munitions transfers, the sharing of dual-use technologies, joint military exercises, coordinated disinformation and cyber operations, sanctions evasion, and strategic coordination in multilateral organizations.

Their deepening cooperation allows these authoritarian regimes to modernize their militaries faster than anticipated, undermine the effectiveness of U.S. economic tools, and increase the risk that conflict with one adversary could draw in others – creating simultaneous crises across multiple regions.

The DISRUPT Act directs the Administration to coordinate a whole-of-government strategy to confront this challenge by:

• Requiring a report from the Director of National Intelligence on the trajectory of adversary alignment across diplomatic, informational, military, and economic domains, and its impacts on U.S. interests;
• Establishing interagency task forces at the Departments of State, Defense, Commerce, and Treasury to coordinate long-term responses to adversary cooperation; and
• Mandating a comprehensive strategic report—to be submitted to Congress within 180 days of enactment—outlining the U.S. strategy to work with our allies to disrupt, frustrate, constrain, and prepare for adversary collaboration.

“Beijing, Moscow, Tehran, and Pyongyang are drawing closer together: sharing weapons, boosting their economies, and spreading disinformation,” said Ranking Member Krishnamoorthi. “Their goal is to hurt America’s security and prosperity. The bipartisan, bicameral DISRUPT Act makes sure America and our allies don’t just keep up – we stay ahead.”

The DISRUPT Act builds on bipartisan, bicameral recognition that U.S. national security demands a unified approach to counter the growing strategic alignment between the PRC, Russia, Iran, and North Korea and to ensure the United States and its allies remain prepared to deter and respond to coordinated threats.
