HR 5375 United States House · 118th Congress

Strengthening the Quad Act

This bill establishes a framework to deepen cooperation among the U.S., Australia, India, and Japan (the Quad). It requires the State Department to submit a strategy within 180 days detailing U.S. engagement with the Quad on shared challenges like climate, infrastructure, and security. The bill also creates a U.S. parliamentary working group (with 24 members split between House and Senate) to coordinate with Quad partners, funded at $1 million annually. This affects U.S. foreign policy implementation and congressional oversight of Quad relations.
