119th (2025–2027)
H.R. 4343
H.R. 4343 requires the Secretary of Defense to submit a comprehensive report within 120 days detailing the military and security relationship between the United States and Greece. The report must cover existing basing rights under the 2021 Mutual Defense Cooperation Agreement, U.S. military investments at Greek bases including Alexandroupolis and Souda Bay, future investment needs, and potential for expanding American military presence on Greek territory and islands. The bill reflects Congress's view that Greece's strategic location in the Eastern Mediterranean is vital for NATO operations, regional stability, and countering geopolitical threats, and seeks to ensure the defense partnership continues to evolve to meet current security challenges. The report will be submitted to the House and Senate Armed Services Committees and will assess implementation of previous defense cooperation agreements between the two nations.
