To direct the Secretary of State to submit to Congress a report on implementation of the advanced capabilities pillar of the trilateral security partnership between Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

This bill requires the Department of State to report to Congress on State Department efforts to implement the advanced capabilities pillar of the trilateral security partnership between Australia, the United Kingdom (UK), and the United States. (One of the goals of the partnership is to develop and provide joint advanced military capabilities, such as artificial intelligence, hypersonics, and electronic warfare.)

The report must include (1) the average and median times for the U.S. government to review applications for export licenses for defense articles or services to the governments and persons (entities and individuals) of Australia or the UK, (2) information about certain violations of the International Traffic in Arms Regulations by the governments or persons of Australia or the UK, and (3) recommended changes to the export control laws and regulations of the three partnership countries to implement the partnership.

Bill 118 hr 1093, also known as the "Trilateral Security Partnership Report Act," aims to require the Secretary of State to provide a detailed report to Congress on the progress and implementation of the advanced capabilities pillar of the trilateral security partnership between Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

The trilateral security partnership, also known as AUKUS, was established in September 2021 with the goal of enhancing security cooperation and coordination among the three countries. The advanced capabilities pillar of this partnership focuses on developing and deploying cutting-edge technologies and capabilities to address shared security challenges.

The report mandated by this bill will provide Congress with important information on the status of the advanced capabilities pillar, including updates on the development and deployment of new technologies, joint exercises and training programs, and any challenges or obstacles that may be hindering progress. By requiring the Secretary of State to submit this report, Congress will be able to stay informed on the advancements and achievements of the trilateral security partnership and ensure that the United States is effectively leveraging its partnerships with Australia and the United Kingdom to enhance national security and address global threats.
