Reading the details provided on the link shows that the resolution was sponsored by Senator Paul Rand and it was read twice and submitted to the Senate Foreign Relations committee on 23 June 2022, since then there has been no further action. So either it has lapsed due to a time limit expiration (don't know enough about the byzantine workings of the US Congress to know if this is the case) or it was used as a negotiation ploy between Republicans and Democrats.I read this and wondered why this sale was prohibited to Australia its from last year of course

But as @Redlands18 says on this side of the pond it is assumed that the FMS went through. (But assumption is the mother of all ****ups)
