Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the United States should negotiate strong, inclusive, and forward-looking rules on digital trade and the digital economy with like-minded countries as part of its broader trade and economic strategy in order to ensure American values of democracy, rule of law, freedom of speech, human and worker rights, privacy, and a free and open internet are at the very core of digital governance.

House Resolution 270 expresses the House of Representatives' position that the United States should establish international agreements and rules for the digital economy with allied nations. The resolution calls for trade policies that protect the free flow of data across borders while ensuring that digital governance is built on principles like privacy, freedom of speech, and worker rights.

For everyday citizens, this measure aims to secure a more stable and open internet for American businesses and consumers by preventing foreign governments from imposing unfair digital taxes or restrictive data laws. If implemented through future trade deals, these standards would help protect personal data privacy and ensure that American digital products and services can compete fairly in the global marketplace.
