This bill, titled the "Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg Congressional Gold Medal Act," authorizes the award of a Congressional Gold Medal to Jens Stoltenberg. This honor recognizes his profound contributions to the security, unity, and defense of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) during his tenure as Secretary General. The legislation highlights his leadership in driving significant investments, reinforcing capabilities, and enhancing the collective defense of the Alliance, particularly through advocating for greater burden sharing among member nations. Under Stoltenberg's leadership, NATO saw an increase in member countries meeting or exceeding the 2 percent defense spending commitment and successfully underwent multiple enlargement periods, welcoming new members like Finland and Sweden. He also fostered increased partnerships with Indo-Pacific countries to address shared global challenges and maintained unprecedented unity among allies following Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The bill directs the Secretary of the Treasury to design and strike the gold medal, and allows for the sale of bronze duplicates to the public.
