Trust But Verify Act

HR 6431, the "Trust But Verify Act," suspends the U.S. designation of Qatar as a major non-NATO ally, directly affecting Qatar's access to U.S. military and economic cooperation. The bill requires the President to submit a certification to Congress confirming Qatar no longer supports international terrorism before any funds can be used to reinstate the status. The President must then submit quarterly reports to Congress verifying Qatar continues to meet this standard, with termination of the designation if Qatar fails to comply. This law implements a verification process to maintain the ally status based on ongoing U.S. assessments of Qatar's counterterrorism cooperation.
