What this bill would do
This bill is known as the Sudan IMPACT Act and was introduced to establish a partnership between the United States and Sudan focused on agriculture and minerals. Under this legislation, the U.S. would provide agricultural exports, equipment, and efficient mining technologies. In exchange, the United States would gain access to critical minerals from Sudan. However, this partnership can only be created if a legitimate, civilian-led governing authority in Sudan is in place and meets specific conditions. These conditions require the governing authority to substantially reduce violence against civilians, improve political stability, and responsibly govern resources.
