World Deserves To Know Act

Bill 118 hr 229, also known as the World Deserves To Know Act, was introduced in the US Congress with the aim of promoting transparency and accountability in government actions related to foreign policy and international relations. The bill seeks to ensure that the American public and the global community are informed about the decisions and actions taken by the US government in these areas.

The key provisions of the bill include requirements for the President to provide regular reports to Congress on US foreign policy objectives, strategies, and actions. These reports would cover a wide range of issues, including diplomatic efforts, military operations, economic sanctions, and humanitarian aid. The bill also calls for increased transparency in the use of US foreign assistance funds, with a focus on ensuring that aid is used effectively and in line with US values and interests.

Additionally, the World Deserves To Know Act includes measures to strengthen oversight of US arms sales and military assistance to foreign governments. The bill requires the President to notify Congress of any proposed arms sales or transfers, and to provide detailed justifications for these actions. Congress would have the opportunity to review and potentially block these sales if they are deemed to be against US interests or values. Overall, the World Deserves To Know Act aims to promote transparency, accountability, and responsible decision-making in US foreign policy and international relations. By requiring regular reporting, increasing oversight of foreign assistance and arms sales, and ensuring that the public is informed about government actions, the bill seeks to uphold democratic principles and promote a more informed and engaged citizenry.
