AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require the Secretary of State, working with the Secretary of Defense, to send Congress a report within 180 days on emerging military, cyber, hybrid, and political threats to Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. The report would cover the roles of Russia, Belarus, China, Iran, and other actors in those threats, and the current presence of U.S. and NATO forces in the region. It would also describe ways to expand defense cooperation and give recommendations on deterrence, cybersecurity, and democratic resilience. The report would be public, with an option for a classified section. The bill also states Congress's view that the security of these three countries is in the U.S. national security interest.
