Trump’s Saudi Arms Sale Is About Politics and Economics, Not Security
by Mitchell Bard
by Mitchell Bard
President Trump wants to use his emergency powers to sell billions of dollars’ worth of weapons to Saudi Arabia on national security grounds. Congress wants to stop the sale because of lingering anger over Saudi abuses and the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, and the usurpation of its legal authority to review arms sales. Both sides are ingenuous. The willingness to sell the Saudis weapons has little to do with American national security, and everything to do with economics and politics.
