Summary

AI-generated summary — verify against full text

This bill establishes prohibitions on vessels that have been loaded or held at ports in Western Hemisphere countries where U.S.-owned land necessary to access those ports has been nationalized, expropriated, or otherwise seized by the foreign government. The bill directs the Secretary of Homeland Security to designate such prohibited ports within 60 days and prohibits federal funds from being used to allow vessels from those ports to import goods, dock passengers, or receive servicing in the United States. The bill requires annual reports from multiple agencies on the number of vessels affected and the trade, national security, and economic implications of foreign governments' actions against U.S. property.
