Bill Summary
A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval of the proposed export to the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and the Republic of France of certain defense articles and services. This joint resolution prohibits the proposed sale of various defense articles and related support services to the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, and France, as described in Executive Communication 1425 and published in the Congressional Record on June 3, 2019.
AI Summary
This Joint Resolution prohibits the United States from issuing licenses for the export of specific defense items, namely 44,000 GBU-12 Paveway II Kits and 16,000 GBU-10 Paveway II Kits, to the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, and France. These proposed sales were formally communicated to Congress through Executive Communication 1425 and publicly announced in the Congressional Record on June 3, 2019, as required by the Arms Export Control Act, a law that governs the sale of U.S. defense equipment to foreign countries. The resolution, passed by both the Senate and the House of Representatives, effectively blocks these particular arms transfers.
