The House Appropriations bill funds the State Department and U.S. foreign-affairs and national-security programs for fiscal year 2027, providing roughly $9.76 billion for State Department diplomatic programs, $6.75 billion for Foreign Military Financing (with $3.3 billion locked in for Israel, $1.3 billion for Egypt, $500 million for Taiwan, and $475 million for Jordan), $3.35 billion for global health programs plus $5.53 billion for HIV/AIDS, and $5 billion for international humanitarian and refugee assistance. The bill creates a new $1.5 billion America First Opportunity Fund, sets aside $1.8 billion for the Indo-Pacific Strategy and $400 million to counter Chinese Communist Party influence, and rescinds $1.84 billion in unobligated balances from prior consular, disaster-assistance, and Millennium Challenge accounts. Policy riders bar contributions to the Green Climate Fund and other climate funds, the Paris Agreement, the World Health Organization, UNRWA, the U.N. Population Fund, the U.N. Human Rights Council, the International Criminal Court, and the International Court of Justice, while continuing the Mexico City Policy on abortion-related foreign aid and capping family-planning funding at $461 million. Other provisions prohibit funds from supporting DEI programs, gender-affirming care abroad, COVID-era mask or vaccine mandates, resettlement of foreign nationals from Gaza, and a broad new Section 7069 ban on State-funded activity that could pressure social-media platforms or foreign regulators to restrict online speech that would be lawful in the United States. Recipients include U.S. diplomats and contractors, foreign aid implementers, allied militaries (especially Israel, Egypt, Jordan, Taiwan, Ukraine partners, and Pacific Islands countries), refugees and disaster-response programs, and U.S. passport and visa applicants who rely on consular operations.
