Summary

Major Non-NATO Ally Terror Threat Assessment ActThis bill requires the Department of Homeland Security to provide Congress with an assessment of terrorism threats to the United States posed by foreign terrorist organizations (FTOs) and Specially Designated Global Terrorists (SDGTs) present in countries operating or designated as major non-NATO allies.The assessment must include various elements, including (1) an identification of each FTO or SDGT present in each ally, (2) a description of all activities of each such FTO or SDGT within each ally, and (3) a description of efforts by the government of each ally to disrupt or degrade the activities of each such FTO or SDGT. There are currently 19 countries designated as major non-NATO allies (Argentina, Australia, Bahrain, Brazil, Colombia, Egypt, Israel, Japan, Jordan, Kenya, Kuwait, Morocco, New Zealand, Pakistan, Philippines, Qatar, South Korea, Thailand, and Tunisia). Additionally, while Taiwan is not designated as a major non-NATO ally, federal law provides that it be treated as one for certain purposes.
