les to the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The bill seeks to restrict the export of weapons and military equipment to the UAE in order to address concerns about human rights violations and potential misuse of these items. If passed, this legislation would prohibit the sale and issuance of licenses for the export of specific defense articles to the UAE. The bill also includes provisions for monitoring and enforcing these restrictions to ensure compliance.

The bill is currently under consideration in Congress and its outcome will have important implications for US foreign policy and national security.
