Plain-language change summary

The revised bill H. Res. 397 includes additional lines that emphasize support for NATO's principle of collective defense, specifically Article 5, and the commitment from NATO members to spend at least 2 percent of their gross domestic product on defense by 2024. It also condemns threats to the sovereignty and integrity of NATO allies and welcomes Montenegro as the 29th member of NATO. These changes outline the U.S. position on NATO commitments and members' defense spending, as well as expressing solidarity with the alliance.
