CRUSADE Act
HR 2863, the CRUSADE Act, prohibits the U.S. from providing weapons, munitions, or military equipment to any foreign country if those items could be used against Christian properties or Christian civilians abroad. Specifically, it bans U.S.-supplied weapons from being used against churches, religious sites, or Christian individuals in foreign nations. The bill requires the President to take necessary actions to prevent such use, overriding other existing laws. This would directly affect U.S. foreign military aid recipients who might otherwise deploy American weapons in conflicts involving Christian communities. The policy change restricts how foreign allies can use U.S.-provided military assets in international operations.
