AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would allow the President to impose sanctions on any foreign person or entity that violates or knowingly undermines the June 2025 peace agreement between the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda, called the Washington Accords. Sanctions could include freezing property and assets under U.S. control and barring the person from entering the United States, including revoking existing visas. The bill exempts sales of food, medicine, and medical devices, humanitarian aid, and certain U.S. intelligence and law enforcement activities. The President would set up a program to carry out the sanctions, and the authority would end seven years after the bill becomes law.
