Protect U.S. National Security Act

Prohibits using federal funds to terminate the United States Agency for International Development’s (USAID) status as an independent establishment and requires the Secretary of State to certify compliance. The funding ban applies to the American Relief Act, 2025 and any other appropriations Acts, and the Secretary must submit an initial certification within 30 days of enactment and then annually for five years to specified congressional committees.

Also states Congress’s view that any USAID reform must follow existing law, protect U.S. soft power, avoid creating policy gaps that adversaries could exploit, and that only an act of Congress may eliminate USAID’s independent-establishment status.
