AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require the Secretary of State and the Secretary of the Treasury to review, within 90 days, whether the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) of Sudan meet the criteria to be designated a Specially Designated Global Terrorist Organization, and to report their findings and decision to Congress. If they decide to designate the group, the President would be required to impose sanctions, including blocking its property in the United States and barring related individuals from entering the country. The sanctions would not apply to humanitarian aid, food, or medicine, and the Secretary of State could waive them for national security reasons. The Secretary of State would also have to report on which countries and groups support the RSF and what a designation would mean for U.S. security and foreign aid.
