Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This joint resolution would block a proposed military sale to Saudi Arabia that includes thousands of precision-guided bomb kits and munitions. Specifically, the sale involves over 5,000 JDAM guidance kits, 5,000 general purpose bombs of various sizes, fuze systems, targeting equipment, spare parts, and U.S. technical support services. The sale had been formally submitted to Congress under the Arms Export Control Act and was announced in the Congressional Record on September 15, 2026. If approved, this resolution would prevent the transaction from proceeding, effectively vetoing the administration's proposed sale. The resolution was introduced by Senators Markey, Sanders, and Merkley, indicating congressional concern about arming Saudi Arabia with additional munitions.
