Prohibiting Aid to Countries Violating Religious Freedom

This act aims to stop U.S. financial aid to governments that impose severe penalties for apostasy, blasphemy, or interfaith marriage. This means American taxpayer money will not support countries where religious freedom is severely restricted, potentially impacting foreign policy and international relations.
Key points
The U.S. President must identify countries that impose death sentences or life imprisonment for apostasy, blasphemy, or interfaith marriage.
The U.S. government will be prohibited from providing any federal funds as assistance to governments on this list.
The goal is to promote religious freedom globally by withholding support from regimes that violate it.
