NATO Burden Sharing Enforcement Act
HR 2924, the NATO Burden Sharing Enforcement Act, would deny U.S. visas to nationals of NATO member countries that fail to spend at least 2% of their gross domestic product on national defense. The bill amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to add this defense spending requirement as a condition for visa eligibility. It directly affects citizens of NATO nations not meeting the 2% threshold, potentially restricting their ability to travel to the United States. The provision would be enforced by the Secretary of Homeland Security under updated immigration law.
