Bill overview
The Sanction Sea Pirates Act of 2025 aims to combat piracy, particularly the recent surge by Somali pirates, by authorizing the President to impose sanctions on foreign individuals and entities involved in piracy. These sanctions include blocking assets, denying visas and entry to the United States, and potentially revoking existing visas. The bill also seeks to align U.S. policy with international efforts to address this issue and includes exceptions for humanitarian aid and certain international agreements.
