Show full summary
- Honduran government: Faces suspension of all U.S. assistance if it refuses or is unwilling to host U.S. personnel, with the cut beginning after U.S. forces redeploy.
- U.S. President: Gains explicit authority to halt assistance to Honduras "notwithstanding any other provision of law," giving the executive broad discretion to respond to Honduran decisions about hosting personnel.
- U.S.-Honduras military ties: Covers aid under the 1954 bilateral military assistance agreement and subsequent amendments, putting those programs at risk if hosting ends.

President could halt U.S. aid to Honduras
If enacted, the President could suspend all U.S. assistance to Honduras. This would start only after U.S. military and civilian staff are moved out of Soto Cano Air Base because Honduras refuses to host them. The suspension would apply even if other laws say otherwise. It would include aid under the May 20, 1954 U.S.–Honduras military agreement. The bill does not set dollar amounts or say when aid could restart.
