CRUSADE Act

This bill would bar the use of U.S.-provided weapons—like munitions, aircraft, and ships—against Christian civilians and Christian-owned properties in other countries. It directs the President to take whatever actions are needed to make sure foreign countries that receive U.S. weapons do not use them to harm Christians or damage Christian sites, such as churches, religious buildings, monuments, and the personal or real property of Christian people.

In short, it’s a rule on how U.S.-supplied military gear can and cannot be used overseas, focused on protecting Christian people and places.
