U.S. aid tied to UN voting

This bill would tie U.S. foreign aid to UN voting. A country would be cut off if it matched U.S. votes less than 50% in the most recent General Assembly session; Security Council members would use a combined vote count from the section 406 report. "United States assistance" would include Economic Support Fund, International Military Education and Training, Foreign Military Financing, and any other monetary or physical aid. The Secretary of State could grant a short-term exemption after a fundamental change in a country's leadership and policies, and must notify Congress; any exemption would last only until the next section 406 report. The rule would start when that report is submitted to Congress, which is due by March 31, 2026.
