Support is growing for an amendment that mandates countries receiving U.S. supplemental aid to use weapons in line with U.S. and international law. This amendment, backed by 18 Senators, also necessitates presidential reporting to Congress on the compliance of recipient countries. It does not apply to funds for purely defensive purposes. The amendment underscores the need for transparency, accountability, and adherence to humanitarian law in the use of U.S. military assistance. It is crucial to co-sponsor this amendment to ensure responsible arms transfers, uphold international law, and promote accountability. This action will contribute to a more equitable global system and prevent potential misuse of U.S.-supplied weapons.
