Stop Funding Global Terrorists Act of 2025

This proposal would stop U.S. payments to the United Nations for aid in Afghanistan unless the State Department certifies two things: U.S. money is not sent as cash into Afghanistan, and no terrorist groups receive any of that money. If the State Department later finds its certification was wrong, it must pull it back and explain why to Congress .

Here’s what that means in practice:

• U.S. funding for UN programs that assist people in Afghanistan would be paused until these conditions are met. The pause ends only after the State Department certifies the safeguards are in place, and it can be reinstated if problems are found later .

Key points

• Who is affected: UN aid programs in Afghanistan; people who rely on that aid; U.S. agencies that oversee foreign assistance .
• What changes: No U.S. contributions for UN assistance in Afghanistan unless the State Department certifies that cash shipments don’t use U.S. funds and that terrorist groups receive no money; certification must be revoked if later found inaccurate .
• When: Takes effect immediately after becoming law and lasts until the required certification is made; can be reversed if the certification is withdrawn later .
