StalledEffort

Block the sale of military weapons and services to the United Arab Emirates.

One policy goal, tracked across every bill that has carried it.

What’s happening with this effort?

The effort to block military sales to the United Arab Emirates remains stalled in the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations as of June 10, 2025. The committee members must act to advance the live vehicle, S.J.Res. 54, but the binding constraint is that most legislation dies in committee without ever receiving a formal vote. This outcome is consistent with the historical pattern where committee inaction serves as the primary way most bills end.
