This joint resolution would block a proposed military sale to Egypt involving 28-meter patrol craft kits and related equipment that the State Department had submitted to Congress for approval. Senator Paul introduced the measure to exercise Congress's power to disapprove foreign military sales under the Arms Export Control Act. The sale was formally transmitted to Congress on January 10, 2024, and this resolution would prevent it from proceeding if passed by both chambers. The resolution does not specify a funding amount or implementation timeline, as it is designed simply to disapprove the transaction rather than authorize new spending. Foreign military sales require congressional notification and can be blocked if either chamber votes to disapprove within a specified review period.
