This joint resolution would block a proposed U.S. military equipment sale to the United Arab Emirates. The sale, which was formally submitted to Congress in transmittal 23-52, involves eighteen AN/TPQ-50 radar systems along with related defense articles and services including rockets, computer systems, power units, spare parts, and technical support. The resolution, introduced by Representative Omar in January 2024, uses Congress's authority under the Arms Export Control Act to prohibit the license needed to export these defense items. If passed by both chambers, the resolution would prevent the sale from moving forward, though it does not specify the total dollar value of the proposed transaction. This type of resolution allows Congress to disapprove specific foreign military sales that the executive branch proposes.
