S.3624

NATO UP Act restricts U.S. funds from asserting control over NATO member states' territories.

The NATO UP Act prohibits the use of Department of State and Department of Defense funds to blockade, occupy, annex, or conduct military operations against NATO member states' territories without authorization. This restriction aims to maintain the unity and strength of NATO, prevent conflicts with NATO allies, and avoid actions that could benefit adversaries like Russia and China. The act emphasizes that any unauthorized U.S. actions would violate international agreements and harm U.S. national security and foreign policy.
