To prohibit the issuance of licenses for the exportation of certain defense articles to the United Arab Emirates, and for other purposes.

# HR 2059 Summary **What the Bill Would Do** This bill would prevent the U.S. government from issuing licenses that allow companies to export certain military equipment and defense materials to the United Arab Emirates (UAE). If passed, it would block these sales until specific conditions are met, though the bill details don't specify which conditions or what type of defense articles would be restricted. **Who It Affects** The bill primarily affects U.S. defense contractors and manufacturers who currently sell military equipment to the UAE, as well as the UAE government.

It could impact U.S.-UAE military and defense relationships. The sponsoring legislator is Rep. Sara Jacobs (D-CA). **Current Status** HR 2059 is currently in committee and has not advanced to a floor vote. This means it's still in the early stages of the legislative process and would need to pass through committee review and gain additional support before moving forward for consideration by the full House of Representatives.
