Defending American Sovereignty in Global Pandemics Act
This bill temporarily halts U.S. funding for the World Health Organization (WHO) until the Senate approves any new international pandemic treaty. It prohibits the U.S. from joining or funding any WHO pandemic agreement unless it first receives Senate ratification as a treaty. The funding freeze begins when such an agreement is signed and ends only after the Senate approves the treaty. This directly affects WHO funding and the process for international pandemic cooperation.
