This bill prohibits the President from selling or authorizing licenses for the export of specific defense articles to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) or any of its agencies. These covered defense articles encompass various categories from the United States Munitions List, including firearms, ammunition, chemical agents, and aircraft. The prohibition will remain in effect until the President certifies to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs and the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations that the UAE is not providing materiel support to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Sudan. This legislative action aims to influence the UAE's foreign policy regarding the conflict in Sudan by linking it to access to U.S. defense exports.
