Plain-English Summary

The legislation would require the State Department to use data analysis and research to guide diplomatic decisions and foreign policy strategies, similar to how businesses use data to make decisions. It would establish systems for collecting, analyzing, and sharing information about international issues to help diplomats and policymakers make more informed choices about how the U.S. engages with other countries. This affects how American diplomats operate abroad and could influence U.S. relationships with foreign governments.
