This bill would prevent the United States from selling or licensing military weapons and equipment to the United Arab Emirates until the President certifies that the UAE is no longer supporting the Rapid Support Forces, a military group involved in Sudan's conflict. The prohibition applies to a wide range of defense articles including aircraft, missiles, explosives, and other military equipment covered under U.S. arms export control laws. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage and continues indefinitely until the certification requirement is met. The measure was introduced by representatives concerned about the UAE's involvement in Sudan's ongoing humanitarian crisis and reflects efforts to use arms control as leverage to change that country's foreign policy. Congress would need to approve any future certification before military exports to the UAE could resume.
