Referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and in addition to the Committee on Armed Services, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
H.R. 7016, introduced in January 2026, prohibits the U.S. government from using federal funds to invade NATO member countries or territories covered by NATO's collective defense agreement. The bill also bars any U.S. officer or employee from taking actions to carry out such an invasion. This legislation affects NATO allies and the executive branch's military authority by creating a legal barrier against invasion operations. The bill contains no specific funding allocations or implementation timelines, as it functions as a restriction on how existing defense funds can be used rather than as a new appropriations measure. It was referred to the House Foreign Affairs and Armed Services committees for consideration.
