Biden suspends EU arms sale to Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates

The governor of the United States temporarily suspends the sale of a large arsenal of troops in Saudi Arabia and F-35 aircraft in the United Arab Emirates for a more profound revision, segjun dijeron funcionarios este miercoles.

An official of the Department of State consulted by the news agency AFP assurances that Washington “temporarily suspends the implementation of transfer determinations and current events of the defense defense team” with the cometido of “Allow the new governors to re-examine”, referring to the governing powers of Democrat Joe Biden, who passed away on January 20.

The official explained that the suspension was intended ensure that “United States arms sales plan the strategic objectives of building societies with greater strength and capabilities”.

Alleged that it was “a typical administrative medium of the majority of the transitions, and demonstrated the compromise of the Administration with transparency and good governance”.

The medium is spectacular, without embarrassment, because it deals in particular with precision precision missiles in Saudi Arabia, and F-35 housing units sold to the United Arab Emirates in exchange for reconnaissance of these lands of the Gulf of Israel, bajo the ego of Donald Trump.

Saudi Arabia, a very close ally of the United States, especially the Trump administration, is leading a military coalition in support of Yemen’s government in the conflict between it and the Houthi rebels, supported by Iran. The Emirates also form part of it.

Without embarrassment, Democrats and some Republicans have been denouncing for a long time the state support for this coalition, accusing of numerous incidents and misdemeanors against the civilian population.

The Democrats are pushing for a blockade in the Senate on the sale of F-35 mobile homes in Abu Dhabi in December. The senators argue that the sale of the Defense team has been delayed with rapid demise and with interrogated demagogues. The Trump administration presented it as a form of talk to Iran in the Middle East.

The new Secretary of State of the State, Antony Blinken, compromised last week to ‘end the state’ support for the military campaign encamped by Saudi Arabia in Yemen ‘.
