H.R. 7088, introduced in January 2026, would prohibit any federal department or agency from taking actions or spending money to purchase NATO member countries or territories protected by NATO. The bill essentially bars the U.S. government from attempting to buy any of the approximately 32 NATO member nations or their protected territories. The legislation does not provide specific funding amounts, timelines, or enforcement mechanisms—it is a straightforward prohibition on any such federal expenditures or activities. This bill appears to be a response to political discussions about NATO member countries and represents an assertion that U.S. government resources cannot be used for territorial acquisitions of allied nations.
