H.R. 2059 would ban the U.S. government from selling or licensing the export of advanced military equipment to the United Arab Emirates until the President certifies that the UAE is not providing material support to the Rapid Support Forces, a military faction operating in Sudan. The ban applies to a broad range of defense articles including weapons, ammunition, aircraft, and other military technology classified under the U.S. Munitions List. The legislation would take effect immediately upon enactment and remain in place indefinitely until the specified certification is made. No funding or timeline for implementation is specified in the bill, as it functions as a restriction on existing arms sale authority rather than an appropriations measure. The bill targets U.S.-UAE military cooperation specifically related to concerns about UAE's alleged support for a Sudanese armed group.
