Washington, DC – Wednesday, December 17, 2025 — ClearPath Action applauded the inclusion of language to reauthorize and modernize the International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) and advance U.S. nuclear exports through the International Nuclear Energy Act (INEA) in the FY26 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).

“Securing America’s global energy dominance requires modern tools, including better access to export financing,” said ClearPath Action CEO Jeremy Harrell. “Congress’ reauthorization of DFC strengthens a unique tool to mobilize investment in the large-scale, innovative projects that America’s allies need to compete with China.”

The NDAA package adopts several DFC modernization priorities, including increasing total lending capacity from $60 billion to $205 billion, creating a $5 billion revolving fund for direct equity investments and expanding country eligibility, including exemptions for energy and critical mineral projects. These reforms will position the DFC to support large-scale clean energy, critical mineral and infrastructure projects overseas.
