White House to experience Legal Action over Sale of Arms to United Arab Emirates

The administration of US President Donald Trump is experiencing legal action over the rushed sale of $23 billion worth of arms to the United Arab Emirates, amid concern the weapons could be used indiscriminately in the ongoing Yemen civil war. The NYCFPA (New York Center for Foreign Policy Affairs) has decided to file a lawsuit against the Department of State and secretary Mike Pompeo. The move came after the US Senate defeated efforts to block the transfer of advanced fighter jets, drones, and munitions to the UAE. The NYCFPA claims the sale fails to meet the most basic requirements under the law and should be deemed invalid. The statement says, “In just a few months, the Department rushed a review process that normally takes years, to authorize and finalize a sale of roughly $23bn worth of the most technologically advanced weapons in the world”.http://www.auroracup.com/white-house-to-experience-legal-action-over-sale-of-arms-to-united-arab-emirates/
