Referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
This is a non-binding resolution expressing the House's position that President Trump, Special Envoy Steven Witkoff, and all federal officials must comply with the Constitutional Foreign Emoluments Clause, which prohibits government officials from accepting payments or benefits from foreign governments without Congressional approval. The resolution specifically calls for Trump and Witkoff to immediately transfer to the Treasury Department any payments received from the United Arab Emirates or other foreign states and to divest from all business interests connected to foreign governments. The resolution alleges that Trump and Witkoff received substantial payments through the cryptocurrency platform World Liberty Financial after the Trump family sold a stake to investment funds backed by UAE official Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan for $500 million, and claims the administration subsequently favored UAE interests in semiconductor chip exports. As a House resolution rather than legislation, this measure expresses Congressional sentiment but carries no legal force and does not create any binding requirements or direct consequences.
