AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would make any foreign person or group that the Secretary of State finds responsible for the unauthorized diversion or destruction of U.S. humanitarian aid owe the United States the value of that aid. This includes aid paid for by the United States but delivered by an international organization. The Secretary of State should take steps to recover the money, and recovered funds could be credited to a State Department account or transferred to the federal agency that funded the aid. The Secretary could waive the liability if doing so is in the national interest.
