S 3414 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A bill to support United States investment opportunities, strengthen bilateral collaboration in addressing criminal elements operating in the Brazilian Amazon, and for other purposes.

S 3414 directs U.S. agencies to support sustainable economic opportunities and combat criminal networks in the Brazilian Amazon. It requires the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation to place staff in Brazil to identify viable investments while assessing risks linked to illegal activities like deforestation and wildlife trafficking. The bill mandates the State Department to provide technical assistance to Brazil for disrupting transnational criminal networks, with $10 million annually (2024-2027) for these efforts. USAID must also fund sustainable livelihoods and protect Indigenous communities' rights, while requiring annual reports on progress and a detailed assessment of deforestation drivers, including China's role in illicit resource extraction. The bill directly affects U.S. federal agencies, Brazilian authorities, and communities in the Amazon region.
