Summary

Immediately cancels specified unobligated budget balances from multiple overseas-assistance and international accounts, removing funds that had not yet been obligated for programs such as international organizations, peacekeeping, democracy and development assistance, global health, and migration/refugee aid. The rescissions include multi-hundred-million and multi-billion dollar reductions with specific carve-outs that preserve certain country or program funding and protect administration of U.S. commodity food-aid. Agencies that manage foreign assistance (primarily the Department of State and USAID) must adjust obligations and program plans to reflect the reduced available balances; the measure does not create new programs or deadlines but changes the amounts available for specified prior appropriations immediately upon enactment.

• Immediately rescinds unobligated balances from multiple foreign assistance and international accounts.
• Listed rescissions total at least about $4.84 billion across named accounts in the summary provided, with one or more additional rescission amounts appearing in the full text.
