A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval of the proposed foreign military sale to the Government of Bahrain of certain defense articles and services.
This bill (SJRES 66) is a congressional resolution to block a specific proposed U.S. military sale to Bahrain. It prohibits the transfer of defense equipment including 50 modern battle tanks, recovery vehicles, bridges, ammunition, and related support services (as detailed in a March 2024 government notice). The resolution invokes the Arms Export Control Act to halt the sale before it can proceed. This directly affects the Government of Bahrain, preventing them from receiving this military equipment, and requires the U.S. government to cancel the transaction.
