house 09/11/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to create a dedicated office within the Department of State to help local governments better engage with foreign partners, attract investment, and protect communities from foreign interference. This effort will strengthen U.S. foreign policy by connecting city, county, and state leaders directly with international opportunities and challenges.
