    US senators seek to block Trump arms sales to Saudi Arabia

    Senators to try to pass 22 resolutions that'd halt Trump's plan to bypass Congress to complete arms sales to Saudi, UAE.




    Washington, DC - A bipartisan group of seven influential United States senators said on Wednesday they intend to force congressional votes on 22 resolutions that would block President Donald Trump's recently-announced sales of US weapons to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

    Hello moon,

    Arming the Saudis doesn't sound like something a pro-Semite would do.

    It certainly is a time when Congress needs to assert itself to block this. The Executive office is growing too powerful.

    There was a time when Saudi Arabia was anti-Zionist. That no longer holds good. The Sauds consider Iran the greater of two evils.

    They're mistaken.

    Obama’s Final Arms-Export Tally More than Doubles Bush’s

    Saudi Arabia has been the largest recipient, reaping prospective deals worth more than $115 billion, according to notices announcing the deals that were sent to Congress for approval.

    “Nobody even comes close” for the number of deals and total value, said William Hartung, director of the Arms Security Project at the Center for International Policy.

    Among the weapons approved for Riyadh: F-15 fighter jets, Apache attack helicopters, Blackhawk utility helicopters, missile interceptors, armored vehicles and bombs and missiles.

    You seem to be laboring under the misconception that I was a Droneman supporter. Haw, haw..........haw.

    Unfortunately my site records terminate at November 2016. Still- where's YOUR condemnation of arms sales to the degenerate Sauds ?

    Saudi Arabia bought weapons from the US, We are the worlds largest arms dealer. Lots of countries buy our weaponry. We did not give them to them.

    Now that the degenerate Sauds are committing war crimes in Yemen decent folk want the sales to stop. Trump , however, doesn't have any moral trousers.

    Bipartisan move in Congress to Cancel Trump’s Stealth $8 bn Arms sale to Saudis



    Ann Arbor (Informed Comment) – Dan De Luce at NBC News reports on a bipartisan attempt in Congress to block Trump’s sidelining of the legislature in fast-tracking an $8 bn arms sale to Saudi Arabia that includes components useful in building ballistic missile. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo justified the step on the grounds of a security threat from Iran. (Iran has not aggressively invaded another country in modern history; Saudi Arabia launched an ongoing war on Yemen in 2015).

    The constitution gives Congress control of the purse strings, and a provision of the Foreign Assistance Act allows Congress to request a report on the human rights record of the recipient country. The move to restore congressional oversight is being led by Sens. Todd Young, R-Ind. and Chris Murphy, D-Conn. Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ), the minority leader of the Senate Select Committee on Foreign Affairs, is also a leader of the movement. Obviously, Congressional Democrats will overwhelmingly vote for the measure, but the question is how many Republicans will break ranks with the administration. Sen. Lindsay Graham (R-SC) has joined the effort, but that may simply suggest it is a quixotic enterprise, since the senator is notoriously erratic.

    Congress is angry about the brutal murder of Saudi dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul in October of 2018, about which Trump has declined to produce the necessary report. There have also long been pro-Israel members of Congress who are nervous about helping the Kingdom to build sophisticated weapons systems. A third consideration is disgust at the Yemen War. Sen. Bernie Sanders was among the leaders of a move to legislate the end of US technical support for that ruinous war, a move which won in both Houses but which was vetoed by Trump without there being the votes for an over-ride.
