A joint resolution for congressional disapproval of the proposed foreign military sale to the Government of the United Arab Emirates of certain defense articles and services.
This bill is a joint resolution that would block (prohibit) a proposed foreign military sale to the Government of the United Arab Emirates. The sale described is listed in Transmittal No. 25-25 under the Arms Export Control Act and covers non-Major Defense Equipment (non-MDE) such as Common Munitions Built-in-Test Reprogramming Equipment (CMBRE), munitions support equipment, night vision device support, spare parts and related logistics, software, publications, site surveys, studies, transportation, and various engineering, logistics, and technical support services. By disapproving this specific sale, Congress would prevent the executive branch from completing the transaction unless the resolution is not enacted into law. The bill was introduced in the Senate on May 15, 2025, by Senators Murphy, with sponsors Van Hollen, Kaine, and Sanders, and was referred to the Foreign Relations Committee. It represents a congressional check on a pending arms sale under the Arms Export Control Act (AECA).
