Baltic Security Assessment Act of 2026

Key Points

• This bill asks the government to look closely at the dangers facing Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. These three countries are close to Russia and are important allies to the United States through the NATO alliance.
• The State Department and the Department of Defense would have six months to write a report about military, cyber, and political threats. They will specifically look at how Russia, China, Iran, and Belarus might be trying to cause trouble in that region.
• The report will suggest ways to help these countries protect themselves, such as improving their computer security and making their democracies stronger. It also looks for ways to increase trade and business between the U.S. and the Baltic region.
• This matters because the U.S. wants to make sure these allies are safe from outside pressure or attacks. By understanding the risks better, the U.S. can decide how to best support them with military help or economic partnerships.
