This is not a “done deal”. DSCA(Defense Security Cooperation Agency) requests still has to go through the House of Representatives. I think that HASC and the Foreign Relations Committee might want have hearings before they continue with the sale.
Section 36(b) of the Arms Export Control Act (AECA) requires the President to give Congress advance written notification of the intent to sell defense articles, equipment and services.DSCA prepares and delivers the notifications to Congress only with the approval of the State Department. Once Congress has been notified of a proposed arms sale under Section 36(b) AECA, the President must publish an unclassified version of the notification in the Federal Register
