Any lab where a citizen of China, Russia, Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, or North Korea does farm research would lose all federal funding. Labs that rely on that money would have to keep these researchers out of farm research work.
More about this bill
Labs where citizens of six countries do farm research would lose all federal money. The six countries are China, Russia, Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, and North Korea. China here also covers Hong Kong and Macau. The ban reaches any research center or lab. It cuts off every federal dollar, not just money for farm work. The bill lists no exceptions, such as for green card holders or people with two citizenships. It does not define who counts as a citizen of those countries or what counts as farm research. Most households would see no direct change in daily life.
