U.S. would oppose international shrimp loans

If enacted, the Treasury Secretary would tell U.S. representatives at international financial institutions to vote against funding for shrimp farming, processing, or exports in borrowing countries. The instruction would start on enactment and end seven years later. The Secretary would be able to waive this for a project after notifying Congress that it is in the national interest. This would act at the international finance level, not as a direct payment or tax change for households.
