No New Burma Funds Act
This bill directs U.S. representatives at the World Bank to vote against releasing funds or approving new loans for the government of Burma (Myanmar). It maintains a freeze on international development financing that was put in place after Burma's military seized power in a 2021 coup. The funding freeze would continue unless the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury determines that lifting it serves U.S. national interests.
