SJRES 60 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval of the proposed foreign military sale to the Government of Turkiye of certain defense articles and services.

This joint resolution would block a proposed U.S. military sale to Turkey, specifically targeting 32 F-16C and 8 F-16D fighter jets along with associated weapons, parts, and support systems (including engines, missiles, radar, and training equipment) as detailed in a government transmittal. If enacted, it would prohibit the U.S. government from proceeding with this specific transaction, preventing the transfer of defense articles and services listed under Transmittal No. 23-07. The resolution directly affects the proposed sale to Turkey's government but does not alter broader arms export policies. It is a procedural disapproval measure requiring congressional action to stop this particular military transaction.
