Major Non-NATO Ally Terror Threat Assessment ActOPPOSE

“When the United States designates a nation as a major non-NATO ally, MNNA, it comes with security cooperation and possible trade deals for defense equipment. This is an important designation that our Nation does not grant lightly. However, we cannot ignore the fact that foreign terrorist organizations continue to operate in or around some MNNA countries, creating threats that could have serious consequences for U.S. national security.”
