## Summary

**Counters foreign assistance to the Taliban** by forcing the State Department to identify foreign actors who fund the group, suspend U.S. aid tied to those actors, and develop a strategy to discourage future support. The bill pairs strict reporting deadlines with measures to limit cash flows that could benefit the Taliban. - Would require a State Department strategy within 180 days that includes support for Afghan women and girls and plans to relocate eligible at-risk Afghans and allies to the United States or third countries. - Any country or nongovernmental organization the Secretary identifies as supporting the Taliban would face immediate suspension of all U.S. foreign assistance. - Imposes detailed oversight and reporting: a 180-day report naming foreign actors and how aid was used; a 90-day review of U.S.-funded direct cash assistance in Afghanistan; recurring 90- and 180-day updates on the Afghan Fund; and semiannual assessments for five years. *Would rescind unobligated Afghanistan reconstruction balances and transfer them to the general fund to reduce the federal deficit.*
