Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This joint resolution would block a proposed military sale to Saudi Arabia that includes 48 F-35 fighter jets, 49 jet engines, and associated defense equipment and services. The sale was formally submitted to Congress under the Arms Export Control Act on September 23, 2026. If passed, this resolution would prohibit the transaction entirely, preventing the U.S. from delivering these advanced aircraft and related military support to the Saudi government. The resolution was introduced by Senator Paul and referred to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. This type of resolution allows Congress to disapprove major foreign military sales before they proceed.
