United Nations Voting Accountability Act of 2025

This bill would stop the U.S. from giving aid to foreign countries that often vote against the United States at the United Nations. A country is counted as opposing the U.S. if, in the most recent UN session, its recorded votes matched the U.S. less than half the time. Aid can include things like economic support or military training. The law would start once the next annual report on UN voting is sent to Congress, due by March 31, 2026.

The Secretary of State could make a temporary exception if a country has had a major change in leadership and policies, and is expected to stop opposing U.S. positions. The Secretary must tell Congress when this happens, and the exception lasts only until the next annual report is submitted.

• Who is affected: Foreign countries that receive U.S. aid, and U.S. agencies that provide it.
• What changes: Countries that voted with the U.S. less than 50% of the time in the latest UN session could lose U.S. aid; “aid” can include economic help or military training.
• Exceptions: Temporary, if there’s a major change in a country’s leadership and policies; Congress must be notified.
• When: Takes effect when the next UN voting report is sent to Congress, due by March 31, 2026.
