House Democrats on Wednesday will launch their bid to block the Trump administration
from completing 22 arms sales largely benefiting Saudi Arabia, but hurdles in the
Senate — and expected veto threats — could undermine what’s become a bipartisan effort
to prevent the president from completing the deals.
Members of the House Foreign Affairs Committee are expected to unveil four resolutions
of disapproval Wednesday, each designed to push back on elements of President Trump’s
plan to conclude the arms deals via an emergency executive order. One resolution aims
to block all 22 deals, while the other three specifically address the sale and production
of precision-guided munitions to and within Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
They want to block Trump from doing business with our allies but had no problem with
Obama giving billions to our enemies.
WTF is wrong with that picture?
