New Export Controls on Advanced Technologies

Recent changes to export controls focus on advanced technologies like quantum computing and semiconductor manufacturing. These new regulations include a presumption of denial licensing standard and a deemed export exception, specifically targeting technologies that might end up in the hands of countries like Russia or China. The controls reflect growing frustrations with the Wassenaar Arrangement, prompting the U.S. to coordinate with several partner countries outside formal agreements. The aim is to expand cooperation among these nations while establishing a framework to impose stricter export restrictions collaboratively.
