Congress is considering blocking a Commerce Department rule that temporarily paused restrictions on which companies can buy certain controlled technology products from U.S. exporters. The rule would have allowed some foreign companies affiliated with sanctioned entities to continue purchasing these items for one year, but this resolution would reject that permission and keep the stricter limits in place. This affects technology companies and exporters who sell products subject to national security controls.
