Transatlantic Growth Enterprise Act

This bill would direct the Secretary of State, working with the Development Finance Corporation and other federal agencies, to run a program called the Transatlantic Growth Enterprise. The program would aim to build business, energy, security, and people-to-people ties between the United States and countries in Central and Eastern Europe, including the Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Moldova, Ukraine, and Bulgaria. The program could only work with government officials of countries that the Secretary finds are not undermining U.S. interests through cooperation with Russia or China. The Secretary would hold stakeholder meetings at least twice a year and send yearly reports to Congress, plus a one-time report on energy cooperation and dependence on Russian and Chinese energy.
