A bill to amend the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 to prohibit the provision of any foreign assistance for state sponsors of terrorism.
This bill prohibits U.S. foreign aid to countries designated as state sponsors of terrorism under the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961. It amends Section 620A by removing existing exceptions that allowed aid despite terrorism designations, including language related to the Export-Import Bank. The key change eliminates prior exemptions, requiring a complete halt to all U.S. foreign assistance for these countries. This directly affects nations like Iran, Syria, and North Korea, which are currently listed as state sponsors of terrorism by the U.S. government. The policy change takes effect immediately upon enactment, with no funding permitted for these countries under the amended law.
