  Ms. Warren (for herself, Mr. Van Hollen, Mr. Kim, and Ms. Slotkin)

                               RESOLUTION


 
  Condemning and calling for the reversal of President Donald Trump's 
decision to allow the export of advanced artificial intelligence chips 
  to the United Arab Emirates, despite significant risks to national 
security and just months after the United Arab Emirates signed a secret 
$500,000,000 deal to buy close to a majority stake in the Trump family 
                crypto company World Liberty Financial.

Whereas 4 days before the inauguration of Donald Trump as President of the 
        United States in 2025, officials representing Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed 
        Al Nahyan, the top security official of the United Arab Emirates, who is 
        often referred to as the ``spy sheikh'', reportedly signed a 
        $500,000,000 deal to purchase 49 percent of the Trump family's crypto 
        company World Liberty Financial;
Whereas, as part of an initial $250,000,000 installment, the Tahnoon-backed 
        company making the purchase reportedly directed a payment of 
        $187,000,000 to Trump family entities;
Whereas another $31,000,000 was reportedly directed to flow to entities 
        connected to the family of Steve Witkoff, who was a co-founder of World 
        Liberty Financial and who serves as President Trump's special envoy to 
        the Middle East;
Whereas, after the $500,000,000 deal was signed, Tahnoon repeatedly met with 
        President Trump, Mr. Witkoff, and other officials in the Trump 
        administration while pushing for access to advanced artificial 
        intelligence chips;
Whereas, after the $500,000,000 deal was signed, the Trump administration 
        approved the sale of advanced artificial intelligence chips to the 
        United Arab Emirates, despite longstanding concerns about the country's 
        ties to the People's Republic of China and the risk that advanced chips 
        would be diverted there and jeopardize the national security of the 
        United States;
Whereas the People's Republic of China is seeking advanced artificial 
        intelligence chips from the United States to enhance the lethality of 
        its military and to supplant the United States as the global leader in 
        technology; and
Whereas the risks to national security posed by President Trump's decisions and 
        the serious corruption underlying those decisions must be condemned and 
        addressed immediately: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate condemns President Donald Trump's 
decision to allow the sale of advanced artificial intelligence chips to 
the United Arab Emirates and calls for the reversal of that decision.
