To prohibit the issuance of licenses for the exportation of certain defense articles to the United Arab Emirates, and for other purposes.
This bill blocks new U.S. defense export licenses to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) or its government agencies. It prohibits the export of specific military equipment (listed in U.S. regulations) until the President certifies the UAE is not supplying military aid to Sudan's Rapid Support Forces. The restriction applies to defense articles covered under U.S. export rules, including weapons and related technology. The bill directly affects U.S. defense exporters and the UAE government's ability to obtain new military equipment from the U.S.
