A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval of the proposed foreign military sale to the Government of the United Arab Emirates of certain defense articles and services.
This joint resolution would block (prohibit) the proposed foreign military sale to the Government of the United Arab Emirates described in a May 13, 2025 transmission to Congress. Specifically, it targets an extension of an existing Foreign Military Sales Order (FMSO II) under a Cooperative Logistics Supply Support Agreement (CLSSA) that would provide blanket order requisitions for common spares and repair parts to support the UAE’s fleet of AH-64 Apache, UH-60 Black Hawk, and CH-47 Chinook aircraft, along with related logistics and program support. The measure reflects congressional disapproval under the Arms Export Control Act (AECA) and would prevent the sale from proceeding if enacted. The bill reveals the sponsors (Senators Murphy, Van Hollen, Kaine, and Sanders) and notes that it has been introduced and referred to the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations. As a joint resolution, if enacted into law, it would supersede the administration’s ability to consummate this particular sale.
