Bill > HR2546

This bill provides for the development and implementation of a pilot program for economic defense response teams. The teams would be deployed to help provide emergency technical assistance and support to countries subjected to the threat or use of coercive economic measures by adversaries. The teams would work to reduce the partner country's vulnerability, minimize the damage, implement contingency plans, develop or improve the country's plans and strategies, and assist the partner country in responding to specific efforts of economic coercion. The bill outlines the institutional support for the program, including the involvement of various U.S. government agencies and the negotiation of contracts with private sector representatives. The bill requires the Secretary of State to provide reports to Congress on the establishment and operation of the pilot program, and includes provisions for the President to activate the teams in response to a declared economic crisis.
