US approves sale of bombs to Saudi Arabia
MORE AGREEMENTS: Arms deals with Middle Eastern dictatorships are being rushed through by Donald Trump, critics say, despite opposition over human rights records
The Guardian, WASHINGTON
The US Department of State has approved the sale of US$290 million in bombs to Saudi Arabia as part of a flurry of arms deals with Middle Eastern dictatorships in the last weeks of US President Donald Trump’s administration.
Critics of the sales say that they are being rushed through despite broad congressional and public opposition to such military support because of the human rights records of the regimes involved, and in the case of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), the huge civilian death toll from the war in Yemen.
