Stop Funding Global Terrorists Act of 2025

# Stop Funding Global Terrorists Act of 2025 - Summary **What It Does:** This bill would block the United States from sending money to the United Nations for aid programs in Afghanistan unless the State Department certifies that U.S. funds aren't being delivered as cash shipments to Afghanistan and that terrorist organizations aren't benefiting from those payments. If the State Department later discovers its certification was wrong, it must revoke it and inform Congress. **Who It Affects:** The bill primarily impacts U.S.

foreign aid policy toward Afghanistan and UN operations there. It could affect humanitarian assistance programs in Afghanistan, UN staff working in the country, and potentially Afghan civilians who depend on international aid—while aiming to prevent funds from reaching terrorist groups. **Current Status:** The bill was introduced in the 119th Congress by Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full Senate. No action has been taken beyond its initial introduction.
