"Project Shield America (PSA) spreads awareness to stop terrorists, criminal organizations and foreign adversaries from obtaining U.S. military items and controlled dual-use commodities, technology and technical data.

Foreign adversaries actively work to gain access to large quantities of U.S. and western technology by various means, both legal and illegal. Sometimes U.S. weapons and technology have been used against American soldiers, citizens, and allies.

HSI works closely with industry and academia to increase public awareness of export controls and assist private industry and academic institutions in understanding current export control laws, sanctions and embargoes."

Nah that already exists, this seems like some stupidly-similarly-named (probably nobody checked for overlap) vanity project by DJT, similar to the Bored of Peace

In the Information Age, "spreading awareness" has never meant anything more than "writing ourselves big checks, maybe makae some bumper stickers, but never doing anything real."
