S. 935 would block the United States from selling military equipment to the United Arab Emirates or issuing export licenses for such sales until the President certifies that the UAE is not providing material support to the Rapid Support Forces in Sudan. The ban applies to a broad range of defense articles, including weapons systems, ammunition, aircraft, and other military hardware classified under the U.S. Munitions List. The bill takes effect upon enactment and would remain in place indefinitely until the certification requirement is met. Congress would be notified of any presidential certification regarding the UAE's involvement with Sudanese militia groups. The legislation essentially uses military aid as leverage to pressure the UAE to cease its alleged support for a violent armed group involved in Sudan's ongoing conflict.
