Vote Summary

SJRES 60 - A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval of the proposed foreign military sale to the Government of Turkiye of certain defense articles and services.

118th Congress (2nd) Vote 62 is a Senate Vote on Bill SJRES 60, A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval of the proposed foreign military sale to the Government of Turkiye of certain defense articles and services.. SJRES 60 was introduced on February 5, 2024 by 1 Sponsors and 2 Cosponsors.

Bill 118 SJRes 60 is a joint resolution that seeks to disapprove of a proposed foreign military sale to the Government of Turkiye. The sale in question involves certain defense articles and services that are intended to be provided to Turkiye.

The resolution is being considered by Congress as a way to express disapproval of the sale and potentially block it from moving forward. The reasoning behind this disapproval is not explicitly stated in the resolution, but it is likely related to concerns about the potential impact of the sale on regional stability, human rights issues, or other factors that may be of concern to members of Congress.

If the resolution is passed by both the House and the Senate, it would prevent the proposed sale from going through. This would have significant implications for the relationship between the United States and Turkiye, as well as for the defense capabilities of the Turkiye government. Overall, Bill 118 SJRes 60 is a significant piece of legislation that highlights the complex and often contentious nature of foreign military sales and the role of Congress in overseeing and potentially blocking such sales.
