This bill requires the U.S. Department of State to assess Islamophobia in Europe as a foreign policy concern and engage with European governments on addressing it. The Assistant Secretary for European and Eurasian Affairs must consult with Congress on these matters within 180 days of the bill's enactment and then annually for two years afterward. The legislation reflects Congress's view that rising Islamophobia in Europe could threaten transatlantic stability and the safety of American citizens and institutions abroad. The bill does not authorize any new funding or establish specific enforcement mechanisms, but rather directs the State Department to prioritize this issue in its diplomatic engagements with European allies. The consultations are required to be reported to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs and the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations.
