Keep America Secure Act

H.R. 2974, the Keep America Secure Act, would require the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security to buy equipment only if its electronic components are made in the United States. This measure is designed to strengthen domestic manufacturing and ensure that critical security technology is produced within the country. While the bill sets a strict "Buy American" standard, it allows government leaders to waive the requirement if domestic parts are unavailable, too expensive, or not in the public interest. For everyday citizens, this could lead to increased support for U.S. tech jobs and a shift in how tax dollars are spent on national security hardware.
