This bill seeks to prohibit the provision of United States assistance to foreign countries that consistently oppose the U.S. position in the United Nations. A country is defined as opposing the U.S. if its recorded votes in the UN General Assembly, and the Security Council for member countries, align with the U.S. less than 50 percent of the time during the most recent session. This determination relies on the annual report submitted to Congress detailing UN voting comparisons. The Secretary of State holds the authority to exempt a country from this prohibition if a fundamental change in leadership and policies has occurred, indicating the country will no longer oppose U.S. positions. Such an exemption is temporary, effective only until the subsequent UN voting report is submitted, and requires the Secretary to notify Congress with a detailed justification. The scope of "United States assistance" covered by this bill includes economic support, military education and training, foreign military financing, and any other monetary or physical aid.
