This appropriations bill will support our allies, keep our adversaries on notice, and combat the flow of dangerous drugs into our communities. At a time of increasing global instability, these investments help ensure the United States remains secure, competitive, and prepared to meet the challenges ahead.” The bill funds: $15.15 billion for the Department of State and related agencies, including: $6.15 billion for improvements in Embassy Security to protect U.S. personnel, And $186.1 million for the OIG to ensure accountability and transparency. $9.64 billion for the Department of State to conduct international security assistance, including: $1.66 billion for International Narcotics Control and Law Enforcement programs to combat fentanyl trafficking and transnational criminal activity, $6.75 billion for the Foreign Military Financing Program to provide security assistance in Israel, Taiwan, and the Philippines to strengthen deterrence in the Middle East and the Indo-Pacific, And $870 million to conduct Anti-terrorism operations. Nearly $1.9 billion to counter China’s aggression, including: $1.8 billion to counter the PRC’s influence and protect U.S. national security interests in the Indo-Pacific, And $400 million for the Countering PRC Influence Fund. The bill now moves to the Senate for consideration.
