The US decision to freeze arms sales to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates pending a review has led to renewed calls for the UK, Riyadhâs second largest arms supplier, to reassess its own policy.
UK government officials said there were no plans to review sales, but at a minimum the Biden administrationâs scepticism about Saudi Arabiaâs six-year war in Yemen is going to require the Foreign Office to shift its emphasis or risk looking diplomatically isolated.
There may also be unavoidable practical implications for British arms companies. Giving evidence to parliamentâs arms export control committee last month, experts said US moves would have a knock-on effect, for example where UK equipment is tied to American licensing arrangements.

Although poorly regulated trophy hunting has had a negative impact historically on some wildlife populations, there is wide evidence, including from the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), that for many threatened species such as the black rhino, white rhino, lion and markhor, well-regulated trophy hunting has brought population increases and reduced larger threats. Conservationists say that when habitats are managed for hunting, it can protect many other endangered species living in the same area.
In 2019, 133 leading scientists and community representatives warned in a letter to the journal Science that banning hunting without implementing viable alternatives to protect habitat and generate revenue for local communities would imperil biodiversity.
