Biden is currently bypassing Congress to sell weapons to Israel, so no, Congress is not solely responsible for weapons sales. Trump did withhold lethal aid from Ukraine for quid pro quo. That was after the first ever sales of weapons though. So he both made the first sales and also did the witholding of additional sales some time later.
