Referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and in addition to the Committee on the Judiciary, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
This bill directs the Secretary of State to establish and maintain an annual strategic dialogue with Moldova to strengthen U.S.-Moldova relations across defense, security, energy, and democratic governance. The legislation requires the State Department to submit a comprehensive four-year strategy within 30 days of enactment that outlines how the U.S. will support Moldova's European Union accession (targeting membership by 2030), counter Russian and Chinese influence in the country, and expand cooperation with NATO. The bill specifically emphasizes supporting Moldova's energy independence, including a transmission line project, and expanding educational exchanges through American Spaces. Additionally, the legislation places strict restrictions on lifting sanctions against specific Russian-linked individuals and entities involved in corruption or human rights violations in Moldova, requiring Senate and House committees to approve any sanctions removal through a formal certification and consultation process. No specific funding amounts are designated in the bill.
