Summary of Bill HR 436

Bill 119 HR 436, also known as the "Russian Federation G7 Prohibition Act," aims to prevent the use of Federal funds to support or facilitate the participation of the Russian Federation in the Group of Seven (G7) meetings. The G7 is an international organization consisting of the world's major advanced economies, including the United States, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United Kingdom.

The bill prohibits the allocation of any Federal funds to be used for the purpose of supporting or enabling Russia's involvement in G7 meetings. This includes funding for travel expenses, accommodations, or any other costs associated with Russia's participation in G7 summits.

The rationale behind this legislation is to hold Russia accountable for its actions on the international stage, particularly in light of its annexation of Crimea in 2014 and ongoing aggression in Ukraine. By restricting Federal funding for Russia's participation in the G7, the bill aims to send a clear message that the United States does not condone Russia's behavior and will not support its inclusion in international forums. In addition to prohibiting Federal funds from being used to support Russia's participation in the G7, the bill also includes provisions for other purposes, although specific details on these additional purposes are not provided in the summary. Overall, Bill 119 HR 436 seeks to limit Russia's influence in international affairs by restricting its participation in the G7, a key forum for discussing global economic and political issues among major world powers.
