President Trump says he will not support an extension of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) unless the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE America) Act is attached. Multiple outlets report that Trump’s comments come as the Section 702 authority is described as having lapsed and as lawmakers consider whether and how to renew it. Trump argues that the extension should be linked to the SAVE America Act, presenting it as part of a negotiation over a broader deal. The reports characterize Trump as pressing for the SAVE America Act to be included in legislation that would extend FISA warrantless intelligence authorities under Section 702. One outlet also cites Trump expressing skepticism about political support for FISA with or without related personnel and oversight changes, but the core condition described across sources is the same: he ties his support for renewing Section 702 to inclusion of SAVE America. The outlets do not specify the bill text details in the provided excerpts, but they agree on Trump’s stated linkage between FISA renewal and the SAVE America Act.
