AI Summary
This bill, the Afghanistan Partnership and Transparency Act, would limit the use of funds to reduce the number of U.S. Armed Forces deployed to Afghanistan below certain thresholds until the Secretary of Defense submits a report to Congress. The report would need to include certifications and analyses on the impact of a U.S. troop withdrawal, such as the threat posed by terrorist organizations, the status of human and civil rights in Afghanistan, the capacity of the Afghan security forces, and the influence of malign state actors. The bill also provides a waiver for the Secretary of Defense to exceed the troop limits in certain circumstances, such as an imminent threat to U.S. forces or if vital to U.S. national security interests.
