Summary

AI-generated summary — verify against full text

The Defending American Property Abroad Act of 2025 establishes measures to protect U.S. persons' property rights against expropriation by certain foreign governments. The bill requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to identify and designate ports and marine terminals in Western Hemisphere free trade partners that have been nationalized or expropriated from U.S. persons since January 1, 2024, and prohibits vessels using such facilities from importing goods into, docking in, or receiving services in the United States. The bill also amends the Trade Act of 1974 to classify expropriation or nationalization of U.S. persons' assets as an unreasonable or discriminatory trade practice subject to potential trade remedies.
