The US Senate Foreign Relations Committee is expected to hold a closed-door hearing on the war in Sudan on Wednesday, August 5, 2026, at 3 p.m. Washington time, according to informed sources.
The session will reportedly be held under a Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information, or TS/SCI, classification and will not be open to the public or the media. The high security designation suggests lawmakers will receive a classified intelligence briefing on developments in Sudan’s conflict.
The reported hearing comes as President Donald Trump’s administration faces growing pressure over its Sudan policy.
Sources said the discussions could cover sensitive issues, including the alleged transfer of US-made weapons to Sudan, the United Arab Emirates’ role in the conflict and Abu Dhabi’s investment ties with the Trump family.
Lawmakers are also expected to examine possible new measures for applying pressure on parties to the conflict as alternatives to conventional economic sanctions.
No further details were provided about the hearing’s agenda or expected participants.
The White House and the Sudanese Embassy in Washington had not publicly commented on the reported session.
