Rescissions Act of 2025
S 2067, the Rescissions Act of 2025, cancels over $7.6 billion in unobligated foreign aid funds that were previously allocated but not spent. It directly affects U.S. international programs by permanently rescinding unused balances across multiple categories, including contributions to international organizations, global health initiatives, refugee assistance, economic support, and disaster aid. The bill targets specific line items from the 2024 and 2025 appropriations acts, such as $2.5 billion for Development Assistance and $800 million for Migration and Refugee Assistance. These rescissions take effect immediately upon the bill’s enactment, reducing available funding for these programs without altering their underlying policy structure.
