Defending American Property Abroad Act of 2025 aims to protect U.S. assets abroad from expropriation and discrimination.

The Defending American Property Abroad Act of 2025 seeks to safeguard U.S. assets from expropriation and discriminatory actions by foreign governments. It amends the Trade Act of 1974 to include expropriation of U.S. person assets in acts, policies, and practices deemed unreasonable or discriminatory. The Secretary of Homeland Security must identify and designate any expropriated property within 60 days of the Act's enactment, and the President must prohibit certain activities involving these properties.
