El Salvador Accountability Act of 2025

This bill would require the President to impose sanctions on El Salvador's President, Vice President, several cabinet ministers, the Attorney General, the central bank president, and other people found to have committed human rights violations or helped deprive U.S. residents of constitutional rights. Sanctions would include freezing U.S.-held property, revoking and denying visas, and banning U.S. bank loans and certain foreign exchange transactions, with exceptions for food, medicine, and humanitarian aid. The bill would direct U.S. representatives at international financial institutions to oppose and suspend non-humanitarian loans to El Salvador's government and would bar U.S. funds from going to that government. Sanctions could end only if the President certifies changes in El Salvador's conduct, no sooner than 4 years after enactment. It would also require a report on the Salvadoran government's use of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
