This includes funding above the request for our Indo-Pacific strategy, including through fully funding the Countering PRC Influence Fund.
Fully fund the Countering PRC Influence Fund and provide above-request funding for the Indo-Pacific strategy.

Evidence
The FY27 House bill text for National Security, Department of State, and Related Programs provides not less than $1.8 billion for Indo-Pacific Strategy implementation and not less than $400 million for a Countering PRC Influence Fund, with a spend-plan requirement covering both accounts.
The committee report says the panel directs $1.8 billion for the Indo-Pacific Strategy and $400 million for the Countering PRC Influence Fund, and states the package provides funding above the request for the Indo-Pacific Strategy and Pacific Islands countries.
The current FY27 markup schedule lists the National Security, Department of State, and Related Programs markup on April 23 and April 28, 2026, then shows later June markups for other bills; it does not show any newer State bill action or enactment.
Assessments
Diaz-Balart appears to have materially advanced the promise in his House appropriations role: the FY27 House bill text and committee report include $400 million for the Countering PRC Influence Fund and $1.8 billion for the Indo-Pacific strategy, explicitly describing the Indo-Pacific funding as above request. But as of June 11, 2026, the State/foreign operations bill was still only at the House markup stage and had not been enacted. Because the promised funding outcome depends on final appropriations becoming law, this is not fully delivered yet. The record supports substantial effort and partial legislative progress, but the final result remains pending.
