THINK TWICE Act of 2025

# THINK TWICE Act of 2025 - Summary **What the Bill Would Do** The THINK TWICE Act would require Congress to approve certain military sales and agreements with Asian countries before they can proceed. The bill aims to ensure greater congressional oversight of arms deals and military assistance in the Asia region, with a particular focus on preventing technology transfers that could benefit China or affect regional security balance. **Who It Affects and Key Provisions** The bill would impact U.S. military contractors, Asian allied nations that receive American military equipment or training, and the State and Defense Departments responsible for approving such agreements.

It was sponsored by Senator Pete Ricketts, a Republican from Nebraska.
