Supporting Democracy Worldwide: Biden admin approves potential multibillion-dollar arms sales to Saudi Arabia and #UAE

The #Biden administration on Tuesday approved and notified Congress of possible multibillion-dollar #weapons sales to both #SaudiArabia and the United Arab Emirates.

The notice of the approval comes just weeks after President Joe Biden met with the leaders of each nation in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, as he sought to improve relations between the US and the Saudis.

The approval was also notified on the same day that the United Nations announced a two-month extension of the truce in #Yemen, where the Saudi-led coalition and the Houthi rebel group had, until recent months, been engaged in a years-long bloody conflict that has killed thousands of civilians.
