Saudi Arabia December 6, 2019, Anti-Terror and Accountability Act
This bill restricts U.S. military assistance to Saudi Arabia and establishes victim compensation for the December 6, 2019, Pensacola attack. It prohibits Defense Department funding for Saudi-led military operations in Yemen and halts military officer exchange programs with Saudi Arabia, while also banning certain arms exports. The bill amends existing law to add $10 million in compensation for victims of the Pensacola attack (including family members of deceased victims) and allocates $1 billion from unobligated Ukraine security funds to cover these payments. These provisions directly affect Saudi Arabia by limiting military cooperation and U.S. victims of the Pensacola shooting by providing new financial support.
