Unlikely to pass

Resolutions to block arms sales are common but rarely pass both chambers and survive a presidential veto. This bill would need massive support to actually stop the deal.

Key Points

This proposal would stop the United States from selling specific military technology to Turkey. The sale includes parts and expert help for engines used in Turkey's new fighter jets.
A group of lawmakers led by Titus is pushing this because they have concerns about selling advanced military equipment to Turkey. They want to prevent the transfer of technical data and installation services for these powerful engines.
If this passes, it would cancel a deal that was first proposed in June 2026. This deal was meant to help Turkey build and test its own high-tech warplanes using American engine technology.
This matters because it affects the military relationship between the U.S. and Turkey. It shows that some members of Congress are worried about how Turkey might use this technology or how it fits with American interests.
