AI Summary
This bill, the Defending American Sovereignty in Global Pandemics Act, requires Senate approval before the United States can become a party to any international agreement under the World Health Organization (WHO) related to pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response. It also suspends U.S. funding for the WHO until such an agreement is ratified by the Senate.
