On Wednesday, Democratic and Republican senators proposed a resolution that may require President Joe Biden’s administration to report on Saudi Arabia’s human rights record and reconsider security support.

Under the Foreign Assistance Act, House can vote to request information on a country’s human rights policies. Democrat Chris Murphy and Republican Mike Lee submitted the resolution.

The government must provide the report within 30 days if the resolution passes. Otherwise, security aid to the country ends.

After receiving the report, the statute allows Congress to pass a joint resolution canceling, limiting, or continuing security aid to that nation.

Murphy, who leads the Senate Foreign Relations Committee’s Mideast subcommittee, said it was the first attempt to exploit the clause.
