What this bill does
H.R. 3405, the "Suspending Transfer of Property for Improper Trump Use Act," would require the Secretary of State to take two specific actions within 30 days of enactment. First, the Secretary must give the House Foreign Affairs Committee and Senate Foreign Relations Committee copies of a broad range of records—documents, chats, memos, recordings, correspondence, and similar materials—related to a proposed transfer of an aircraft from Qatar to the U.S. government, which would then be given to an entity controlled by President Trump. Second, the Secretary must submit a report to those same committees describing negotiations with Qatar, including any promises made in exchange for the aircraft, any private-sector contract negotiations tied to the transfer, and details of the legal review of the transfer. The bill also bars the use of federal funds to support, facilitate, or execute the transfer of any foreign-government-owned aircraft to the U.S. government, the President, or the Trump Presidential Library.
The bill directly affects the Department of State, the National Security Council, and congressional oversight committees, and it targets a specific reported transaction involving Qatar, an aircraft, and President Trump or his affiliated entities. It is intended to give Congress documentation and information about the deal and to block federal funding for completing it.
The bill was introduced on May 14, 2025, by Rep. Gregory Meeks and 17 cosponsors, and referred to the House Committees on Foreign Affairs and Oversight and Government Reform. It has not advanced beyond introduction, and would need committee action, House and Senate passage, and the President's signature (or a veto override) to become law.
