Baltic Security Assessment Act of 2026

This bill would require the Secretary of State, working with the Secretary of Defense, to send Congress a report within 180 days on emerging threats to Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. The report would cover military, cyber, hybrid, and political threats, and the roles of Russia, Belarus, China, Iran, and others in those threats. It would also describe the current U.S. and NATO force presence in the region and give recommendations on deterrence, cybersecurity, democratic resilience, and defense cooperation. The report would be unclassified but could include a classified annex. The bill also states Congress's view that the security of these three countries is in the U.S. national security interest.
