Blocks ships from US ports if they used foreign ports that seized American property.
This bill would create new rules for ships entering U.S. waters. If a ship has used a foreign port where a U.S. company's property was seized by a Western Hemisphere government, it could be blocked from U.S. ports. This aims to protect American property owners abroad by pressuring foreign governments.
Today, vessels can generally enter U.S. waters or transfer cargo if they meet existing conditions. After this bill, vessels that have used foreign ports designated by the President would face new restrictions. These restrictions would apply if the designation was due to the seizure of U.S.-owned property in Western Hemisphere countries. Exceptions would be made for emergencies or if the property owner gives permission.
