A bill to prohibit sales and the issuance of licenses for the export of certain defense articles to the United Arab Emirates, and for other purposes.
S 935 prohibits the U.S. President from selling or licensing the export of specific military equipment to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) or its agencies. The bill blocks these defense exports under the Arms Export Control Act until the President certifies to Congress that the UAE is not providing military support to Sudan's Rapid Support Forces. Covered items include weapons and defense articles listed in specific categories of the U.S. Munitions List (e.g., Category I-VIII, XIV, XVI-XVIII). This directly affects U.S. defense contractors and the UAE government by halting certain arms sales until the certification condition is met. The law imposes a concrete restriction on defense exports based on a defined foreign policy condition.
