What this bill would do
This bill directs the Secretary of State to create and carry out a strategy to relocate the United Nations headquarters.

The plan involves renegotiating the existing 1947 agreement between the United States and the United Nations. This process includes negotiating with United Nations counterparts and working with the Senate for ratification. Finally, the Secretary must submit a report to House and Senate committees outlining the strategy's timeline and next steps.
