Referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
This bill immediately terminates the designation of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan as a major non-NATO ally. It bars the President from reissuing that designation unless the President certifies Pakistan is actively disrupting Haqqani Network safe havens, preventing their use of Pakistani territory, coordinating with Afghanistan to restrict militant movement, and making progress arresting and prosecuting senior and mid-level Haqqani leaders.
Left emphasizes humanitarian and stability risks; right emphasizes punishment and leverage
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill clearly achieves a discrete substantive change (termination of Pakistan's major non‑NATO ally designation) and imposes a new conditional requirement for re‑designation.

The text contains no other substantive provisions or implementation details.
Narrow but politically sensitive foreign‑policy measure with limited compensating incentives; easier in one chamber than full enactment into law.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill clearly achieves a discrete substantive change (termination of Pakistan's major non‑NATO ally designation) and imposes a new conditional requirement for re‑designation. The text is concise and direct about the primary legal effect, but it provides limited operational, evidentiary, fiscal, and accountability detail for how the certification condition would function in practice.

These are examples from the analysis, not a ranked list of the most-affected groups.
Left emphasizes humanitarian and stability risks; right emphasizes punishment and leverage
Progressives would view the bill as a tool to hold Pakistan accountable for militant safe havens while worrying about downstream humanitarian and stability effects.
They would seek safeguards to protect civilians, preserve necessary counterterrorism cooperation, and ensure oversight of any punitive steps.
Moderates would see legitimate reasons for withdrawing privileged status if Pakistan is not acting against militants, but would worry about abrupt operational and diplomatic costs.
They would favor a measured, conditional approach with clear standards and mitigation plans to preserve essential security cooperation.
Mainstream conservatives would likely welcome removing MNNA status as a firm response to Pakistani tolerance of militant networks.
They would regard the bill as a leverage tool while urging preservation of specific security cooperation and readiness to apply further pressure if Pakistan fails to comply.
