The primary purpose of this bill is to impose a restriction on the availability of Federal funds to Turkey until the Turkish government issues a formal apology for an attack on U.S. Marines that occurred on September 2, 2024. The key provision is a limitation that prohibits the obligation, expenditure, or allocation of any Federal funds to Turkey until such an apology is issued. This bill has significant implications for U.S.-Turkey relations and could impact various areas of cooperation and funding between the two countries. The group specifically affected by this legislation is the Government of Turkey, which would need to formally apologize for the specified attack to restore the flow of Federal funds.
