This joint resolution would block a proposed military equipment sale to Saudi Arabia that the Trump administration had submitted to Congress. The sale includes advanced GPS navigation systems, communications intelligence equipment, secure radio systems, and related technical support services, valued at millions of dollars. Senator Rand Paul introduced this measure to prevent the transfer of these defense technologies to the Saudi government. Under federal law, Congress can disapprove foreign military sales through joint resolutions like this one, though the resolution would need to pass both chambers and survive a presidential veto to take effect. The measure was referred to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in December 2023.
