Mandating Regular Summits of the Americas and Regional Cooperation.
This law formalizes the policy of the US to host Summits of the Americas every four years to strengthen ties and cooperation across the Western Hemisphere, involving business and civil society leaders. It mandates the creation of a State Department unit responsible for publicly tracking and reporting on the implementation of all international commitments made during these summits. While primarily diplomatic, the goal is to enhance regional stability, which can indirectly benefit trade and security.
