The United States budget for 2021, passed late Monday night, outlines around $85 million in new funding for Cambodia with conditions on the country’s ability to resist “interference by the People’s Republic of China” and reverse rights abuses.
The 5,593-page Consolidated Appropriations Act 2021, which now heads to President Donald Trump, was passed by both the House of Representatives and Senate late Monday night in Washington D.C. The document earmarks at least $85,505,000 in assistance for Cambodia. But to get those funds, it requires the U.S. Secretary of State to certify that the Cambodian government had maintained its neutrality concerning the Ream Naval Base, Dara Sakor development project in Koh Kong province, and other military installations.
