Washington, Dec 10: The US Senate has failed to pass a measure that would have blocked the arms sale of 50 F-35 fighter jets to the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

On Wednesday afternoon, the Senate voted 47-49, falling short of the majority needed to pass the legislation.

Earlier in the day, the Senate also failed to pass a second measure that would have blocked the sale of 18 Reaper drones to the UAE.
