About This Bill

Latest Action · March 26, 2026
Read twice and referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations.
This joint resolution would block a proposed military weapons sale to the United Arab Emirates. The sale, which was formally submitted to Congress in March 2026, includes precision-guided bombs, guidance systems for missiles, encrypted communications equipment, training, and technical support services. The resolution was introduced by Senators Van Hollen, Sanders, and Welch, suggesting concerns about the arms transfer, though the specific objections are not detailed in the resolution text itself. If passed by both the Senate and House, this measure would prohibit the Defense Department from proceeding with the sale. Joint resolutions like this are one of Congress's formal mechanisms for exercising oversight over major foreign military sales under the Arms Export Control Act.
