On Wednesday the Biden administration issued a freeze of all US arms sales to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates at a moment Congressional scrutiny of America's support to the Saudi-led coalition waging war in Yemen grows. US involvement in the war goes all the way back to the Obama administration, with Trump also in the last months of his presidency approving billions in new arms sales to the kingdom.

In particular Lockheed Martin produced F-35 stealth fighters that were set to be transferred to the UAE the have been "temporarily" blocked along with munitions to the Saudis, among other sales. Prior reports suggested the prior Trump deal was to send as many as 50 advanced F-35 fighters to the UAE.

"That sale and several other massive purchases of U.S. weaponry by Gulf Arab countries had been harshly criticized by Democrats in Congress," the report added.

The State Department said of the "temporary pause" that it is "temporarily pausing the implementation of some pending U.S. defense transfers and sales under Foreign Military Sales and Direct Commercial Sales to allow incoming leadership an opportunity to review."

And Axios further details that "The sales of F-35 jets and attack drones to the UAE and a large supply of munitions to Saudi Arabia will be paused pending a review." It added that it "signals a major policy shift from the Trump era, and may herald sharp tensions with both Gulf countries."

They'll just spend that money somewhere else, russia or china.

Look, weapons sales is messy, but trump was right, it will mean a good chunk of money for US arms manufacturers.

This is just the same short sighted nonsense like cutting off our energy production that will cause less money coming into this country and require more taxes to make up for.

Biden is a dud.

that's my president!!!

Trump tried to sell the musicians
Muslims all of America secret stealth technology!!

all the while claiming to be Americas savior

if it wasn't for Biden, the Muslims would have stealth technology... American stealth technology

He's probably gotta bounce out of the chinese mainland to get access to this site. He picked Nepal cause they're known for their involvement in geopolitics... (that was a joke, they're known for mountains and shirpas.)

We all know joe is a placeholder for the golden girl.

I'm not shocked by anything he'll do.

I'm of the belief that he'll do all the radical, hateful things that people will bark against just to get them out of the way so when harris rolls in she can claim a "clean record".

Biden is, without a doubt, the biggest tool in politics at this point for his handlers/party.

He will be loathed, hated and cursed for decades to come, but that's the role he forgot he signed up for(Jill will get the money in that deal, biden will be dead in a year). I'm sure hunter secured a nice percentage too. What a horrible family(as to the way they treat eachother).

China does not want US weapons sold to Saudi Arabia and the UAE.

It is simple as that.

China now directs foreign policy through Biden's shadow government.

Not to mention the landmark peace deal that Trump did towards the end of his administration. That opened up trade between UAE and Israel for the first time since ever...

Biden is reposturing.

Make Israel Great Again..

I guess killing youth and innocent in Yemen is okay with you seen how Our weapons were being used by the Saudis time and time again..

Your alright with that I guess...

No just you cause your posting from fucking Nepal.

Fucking democrats.Shut down manufacturing jobs and give them unemployment. Their new slave system.

LOL

They'll just spend that money somewhere else, russia or china.
