Trump Administration Start Selling Arms To Saudi Arabia

According to a US official involved in arms transfers, the US is in the middle of sending a precision-guided missile technology valued at $300 million, and also  a F-16 fighter jet valued at $4 billion to Bahrain.

The new resumption of arms deal is signed between the US and kingdom’s involvement in its neighbour’s ongoing civil war.

             

Former President Obama in his last month in office blocked the sale of precision munitions in Riyadh because of the airstrike's killing civilians in large-scales in Yemen.

The US has been supporting Saudi Arabia with logistics and surveillance support in its military aggression and operation in Yemen.

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson’s approved the sale this week, but this will also need to go through the White House.

The Obama-led administration approved the sales of Tank to the Saudi government, but did not give a final go ahead to precision-guided missile technology.
