SJRES 217: A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval of the proposed foreign military sale to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia of certain defense articles and services.
This joint resolution seeks to prohibit the United States from selling 48 F-35 Lightning II fighter jets and associated engines to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It also blocks the transfer of related non-major defense equipment, which includes secure communications devices, spare parts, training aids, and various support services. The bill directly affects the U.S. Department of Defense by preventing it from executing this specific arms export agreement with Saudi Arabia.
