Congressman Andy Biggs has reintroduced legislation aimed at protecting American sovereignty and prioritizing national interests abroad. His efforts come with a focus on reinforcing U.S. leadership and reducing international commitments perceived as compromising to national sovereignty.

"The world has become less safe during the four years of the Biden-Harris regime. I look forward to working with President Trump as we restore the leadership of the United States, end our involvement in sovereignty-stripping entanglements, and promote peace through strength. I urge my colleagues to quickly pass these bills as we respond to the mandate our voters gave us in November," Congressman Biggs stated.

The proposed legislative package includes several measures:

- H.Res.9: This resolution reaffirms that the United States is not a party to the Rome Statute and does not recognize the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court (ICC).

- H.R. 54, WHO Withdrawal Act: This act requires the President to withdraw the United States from the World Health Organization (WHO) immediately and prohibits federal funding for U.S. participation in WHO.

- H.R. 93, Stop Imposing Woke Ideology Abroad Act: This bill prohibits using federal funds to implement initiatives by the State Department's Special Representative for Racial Equity and Justice and its Equity Action Plan.

- H.R. 94: A bill aimed at terminating Pakistan's designation as a major non-NATO ally.

Additionally, language from Congressman Biggs's H.Res.9 has been incorporated into Congressman Chip Roy’s H.R. 23, known as the Illegitimate Court Counteraction Act, which is set for a House vote this week.
