In Committee

Summary

Strengthen U.S.–Baltic security ties. This bill would declare the Baltic region a U.S. national security interest and set a framework for deeper defense, cyber, and economic cooperation to counter pressure from Russia and the People's Republic of China.

Show full summary
  • For Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania: would produce a focused U.S. assessment of emerging military, cyber, hybrid, and political threats and offer recommendations to boost deterrence and democratic resilience.
  • For U.S. and NATO planners: would assess current U.S. and NATO force posture in the Baltic region and identify opportunities to enhance bilateral and multilateral defense cooperation.
  • For Congress and policymakers: would require an unclassified report, with an optional classified annex, delivered within 180 days that analyzes threats and lists actionable recommendations.
  • For economic strategy: would link stronger U.S.–Baltic trade and investment ties to resisting economic pressure from the People's Republic of China and other malign actors.
