The FY26 NSRP bill – which is enacted law – cut UN funding by double digits, conditioned funds based on accountability measures, prohibited funds to UNRWA, and required UN voting records be assessed in deciding assistance to countries.

Fetched verbatim passage. AI summary (separate from source): In the lookback window, Diaz-Balart described enacted FY2026 measures as cuts and conditions, not a complete enacted cutoff of the UN regular budget.

Ending the UN Blank Check: Provides no funding for the UN regular budget. Further assessed contributions are not justified without additional reforms.

Fetched verbatim passage. AI summary (separate from source): Diaz-Balart claimed the House-passed FY2027 NSRP bill matched the promise, but this was still an appropriations bill effort rather than enacted law as of the refresh date.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): FY2026 enacted law still contemplated funding under the CIO account for a UN Regular Budget contribution, so the full no-regular-budget promise was not delivered for that enacted year.

Public state: partial As of 2026-10-12 · verified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): partial. same_term A for effort

The exact FY2027 no-regular-UN-budget provision is documented only as part of a House-passed appropriations effort, not enacted law, so it is not fully delivered. Verified evidence does show an enacted FY2026 NSRP law cut UN funding by double digits, conditioned funds on accountability measures, prohibited UNRWA funding, and required UN voting records to be assessed, which is a documented partial outcome aligned with the accountability and funding-restriction promise.
