SHADOW Act

This bill would require the Secretary of State to assess hybrid warfare activities against U.S. interests, including in Europe, and to work with foreign governments and NATO allies on sharing information and coordinating responses. Within 30 days, the Secretary would name an existing State Department official as Coordinator for hybrid warfare accountability. The Coordinator would oversee information sharing with allies and partners, identify gaps in U.S. understanding of hybrid threats, and report to Congress each year for several years. Within 180 days, the Coordinator would report to Congress identifying Chinese entities that materially support Russia's defense industrial base and recommending sanctions, export controls, or other measures. The unclassified part of that report would be posted on a public State Department website.
