Is the interpretation that an international number can’t be spoofed now, or that the source being international AND spoofing (which may include domestic numbers

  I believe it is the latter. I have a USA number and when I travel abroad I get spoofed calls originating from USA numbers. The opposite pretty much never happens though. Domestically I almost never receive calls spoofed from an international number (outside of USA) calling to my number (Inside USA). That doesn’t necessarily tackle the scenario you’re calling out (someone outside USA acts like they are inside USA when spoofing a call). That might be the loophole they are actually trying to close (this simply gives them a way to prosecute bad actors who are spoofing USA domestic calls but live outside the USA). Which if it is, great. Otherwise if they mean international inbound calls it doesn’t really affect consumers since if it is referring to calls originating from outside USA, those basically never happen in practice anyway and it would make this kind of enforcement pretty much useless.
