Karl Hoerig Foreign Aid Suspension Act

H.R. 2784, the Karl Hoerig Foreign Aid Suspension Act, would prohibit the United States from providing foreign assistance to Brazil until the Brazilian government changes its laws to allow the extradition of its citizens to other countries. The bill includes a provision that allows the President to waive this restriction on a case-by-case basis if it is determined to be in the national interest of the United States. If enacted, the practical impact would be a suspension of federal funding and aid programs directed to Brazil unless that country agrees to surrender nationals wanted for crimes committed abroad, such as those facing criminal charges in U.S. courts.
