Standard Summary
Comprehensive overview in 1-2 paragraphs

This bill would require the Secretary of Defense to prepare and submit a report to the Senate and House Armed Services Committees within 270 days of enactment. The report must describe (1) the current state of United States security cooperation with Guyana, and (2) what additional U.S. assistance would be necessary to deter a potential Venezuelan attack on Guyana. The act does not authorize new funding or specific programs; it is a reporting requirement intended to inform and shape future policy, planning, and security cooperation decisions related to Guyana. Contextual note: Guyana sits at a strategic crossroads in the Caribbean with ongoing regional security considerations, including tensions with Venezuela and concerns about border disputes and security of oil resources. The bill seeks to assess existing ties and outline what more, if anything, the United States would need to do to deter aggression, potentially guiding future actions.
