Requires the State Department to create clear plans for fighting terrorism abroad.
This bill would require the State Department's Bureau of Counterterrorism to develop specific written plans for how the U.S. will fight terrorism in countries and regions facing major threats. These plans would aim to make U.S. efforts more effective and coordinated. The Bureau would also have to regularly update these strategies and report to Congress about them.
Today, there is no specific law requiring the State Department's counterterrorism office to create detailed, written strategies for individual countries or regions. After this bill, the Department of State's Bureau of Counterterrorism would be required to develop, maintain, and annually update specific written counterterrorism strategies for countries and regions with significant terrorist threats or ongoing U.S. counterterrorism engagement, and brief Congress on these strategies within 90 days and then annually.
