S 2728 United States Senate · 119th Congress

No Foreign Fundraising at United States Embassies Act

This bill prohibits U.S. embassies, consulates, and diplomatic posts from hosting fundraising events for foreign political parties or candidates using federal or personal funds of U.S. officials. It specifically bans events intended to raise money for foreign political groups on embassy grounds, including facilitating donor contact. The bill requires the State Department to revise its regulations (DSSR and FAM) to enforce this prohibition and prevent any appearance of favoring one foreign political group over others. It directly affects U.S. diplomatic missions and their staff by restricting the use of embassy facilities and funds for foreign election-related fundraising. The policy aims to maintain U.S. political neutrality in foreign elections, consistent with longstanding diplomatic practices.
