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.
