AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would direct the U.S. Secretary of State to consider steps meant to make it easier for U.S. citizens and businesses to travel to and invest in Somaliland. The Secretary would be required to consider opening a U.S. representative office in Hargeisa, Somaliland. The Secretary would also be required to consider issuing separate travel advisory warnings for Somalia and for Somaliland instead of combined ones. The bill requires the Secretary to consider these steps but does not require that they be carried out.
