The House voted 219-199 to pass the No WHO Pandemic Preparedness Treaty Without Senate Approval Act, with four Democrats joining 215 Republicans to get the bill through. The legislation deems World Health Organization conventions or agreements to be treaties, which need senate supermajorities to be ratified. The bill now heads to the Democratic-controlled senate where it is unlikely to pass.
Representative Tom Tiffany (R., Wisc.) introduced the legislation to limit the World Health Organization’s influence after the body received strong criticism for its handling of the Covid-19 pandemic and close ties to the Chinese Communist Party.

“It'd be Wisconsin's first national park,” Tiffany said. “And if there's a place that is worthy of being a national park in Wisconsin, it's the Apostle Islands.”

An amendment to the annual U.S. State Department spending bill that will prevent the department from spending funds to enforce restrictions on high-level bilateral U.S.-Taiwan communications was passed by voice vote in the House of Representatives on Thursday (June 27).
During his floor speech that day, Representative Tom Tiffany said the amendment would prevent the enforcement of “arbitrary, self-imposed” State Department rules that restrict communication between U.S. officials and their Taiwanese counterparts. Tiffany said these guidelines are designed to prevent high-level coordination between the U.S. and Taiwan.
