In October, the previous Biden administration approved a potential $1.2 billion deal for the sale of Guided Multiple Launch Rocket Systems (GMLRS) and Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS), along with related support services.<\/p>\n<p>Lockheed Martin manufactures the GMLRS, while L3Harris Technologies produces the solid-fuel rocket engine for the system. Lockheed Martin also manufactures the ATACMS missiles. In November, Van Hollen and Jacobs introduced legislation to Congress in an attempt to block the sale.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4068\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4068\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4068 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Mohammed-bin-Zayed-supported-the-Rapid-Support-Forces-with-Emirati-weapons-to-fuel-discord-in-Sudan-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"Mohammed bin Zayed supported the Rapid Support Force\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Mohammed-bin-Zayed-supported-the-Rapid-Support-Forces-with-Emirati-weapons-to-fuel-discord-in-Sudan-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Mohammed-bin-Zayed-supported-the-Rapid-Support-Forces-with-Emirati-weapons-to-fuel-discord-in-Sudan-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Mohammed-bin-Zayed-supported-the-Rapid-Support-Forces-with-Emirati-weapons-to-fuel-discord-in-Sudan-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Mohammed-bin-Zayed-supported-the-Rapid-Support-Forces-with-Emirati-weapons-to-fuel-discord-in-Sudan-150x75.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Mohammed-bin-Zayed-supported-the-Rapid-Support-Forces-with-Emirati-weapons-to-fuel-discord-in-Sudan-450x225.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Mohammed-bin-Zayed-supported-the-Rapid-Support-Forces-with-Emirati-weapons-to-fuel-discord-in-Sudan.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4068\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mohammed bin Zayed supported the Rapid Support Forces with Emirati weapons to fuel discord in Sudan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In December, Reuters reported that dozens of flights from the UAE had landed at an airstrip in Chad, which was used to transfer weapons across the border to Sudan.
