A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval of the proposed foreign military sale to the Government of the United Arab Emirates of certain defense articles and services.
Senate Joint Resolution 118 would block a proposed sale of U.S. military equipment to the United Arab Emirates. The resolution specifically targets the sale of 259 rocket pods (containing 1,554 missiles) and 203 missile systems, plus related training and support services. This resolution invokes the Arms Export Control Act, which requires Congress to review major arms sales before they proceed. If enacted, it would prevent the U.S. government from finalizing this specific defense deal with the UAE.
