Bill would cut off US aid to any nation found helping the Taliban

What does this do?

The "No Tax Dollars for Terrorists Act" requires the Secretary of State to investigate and report which foreign countries and organizations aid the Taliban, especially those also receiving U.S. funds, and mandates an immediate cutoff of U.S. assistance to any found doing so. It also demands transparency on Afghanistan aid programs, cash distribution, hawala networks, and the frozen "Afghan Fund," and rescinds unused money from older Afghanistan reconstruction programs to reduce the federal deficit.

Who does it affect?

U.S. agencies like the State Department and Treasury, foreign governments and nonprofits receiving U.S. aid, and Afghan civilians relying on humanitarian programs are affected.

Why does it matter?

Aid cutoffs could disrupt humanitarian assistance channels in Afghanistan even as the bill tries to protect help for women and girls, and it signals continued U.S. opposition to normalizing ties with the Taliban.

What does it cost, and who pays?

• Rescinds unused Afghanistan aid funds
• Redirects money to federal deficit
• No new taxes or spending
