Bill > HR2059

This bill prohibits the President from selling or authorizing export licenses for specific defense articles to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) until the President certifies to congressional committees that the UAE is not providing material support to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Sudan. The prohibition covers defense articles listed in several categories of the United States Munitions List, which includes a wide range of military equipment such as firearms, artillery, ammunition, military vehicles, aircraft, naval vessels, and related technologies. Specifically, the bill prevents the issuance of export licenses under the Arms Export Control Act, effectively halting potential military sales or transfers to the UAE. The goal appears to be leveraging U.S. military export authority to discourage support for the RSF, a paramilitary group in Sudan that has been involved in significant conflict and human rights concerns. The certification requirement means the President must provide a formal statement to the House Foreign Affairs Committee and Senate Foreign Relations Committee affirming the UAE's non-support of the RSF before any defense article exports can be authorized.
