The Baltic Security Assessment Act of 2025 requires the Secretary of State, working with the Secretary of Defense, to assess security threats facing Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania and submit a comprehensive report to Congress within 180 days. The report must examine emerging military, cyber, hybrid, and political threats to these three NATO member countries, identify the roles of hostile actors like Russia, Belarus, China, and Iran in advancing these threats, and evaluate current U.S. and NATO defensive capabilities in the region. The bill also directs the administration to recommend ways to strengthen defense cooperation, cybersecurity, and democratic resilience in the Baltic nations, while emphasizing Congress's view that supporting Baltic security serves U.S. national interests and counters economic and security pressure from adversaries. The legislation carries bipartisan support and directs that most findings be released unclassified, though sensitive information may be included in a separate classified section.
