A joint resolution for congressional disapproval of the proposed foreign military sale to the Government of the United Arab Emirates of certain defense articles and services.
This bill (SJRES 51) blocks a planned U.S. military sale to the United Arab Emirates. It prohibits the transfer of specific defense items listed in a government transmittal, including night vision equipment support, munitions parts, software, and technical services. The resolution uses the congressional disapproval process under the Arms Export Control Act to stop the sale without requiring a presidential veto. It directly affects the UAE government, preventing it from receiving these defense articles and services. The bill targets a specific proposed transaction, not broader policy changes.
