Trump pushes renewal of foreign surveillance amid privacy reform push
TL;DR
President Trump urged extending the foreign surveillance program (Section 702) as bipartisan privacy concerns loom. Some lawmakers seek stronger warrants and oversight, while others, including House Republicans like Rep. Crawford, back an 18‑month renewal to empower intelligence agencies. With Monday’s expiration looming, the House is viewed as pivotal for any reforms, and Trump’s backing may make cross‑party changes harder to achieve as civil liberties advocates warn Americans could be swept up in surveillance.
