The FY26 bill summary says the bill creates a $6.89 billion National Security Investment Programs account, consolidating three prior accounts for strategic economic assistance tied to U.S. national security interests. It also says the bill bars wasteful DEI, woke programming, climate mandates, and divisive gender ideology spending.

Official committee materials directly match the promise: fund a new NSIP account and redirect foreign assistance away from DEI/woke or climate/gender programs toward national security priorities.
