Trump admin bypasses Congress to expedite sale of billions in weapons to UAE and Kuwait
The Trump administration bypassed Congress to expedite the sale of billions of dollars of weapons to the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait as Gulf allies shoulder Iran’s retaliation for US and Israeli military action.
The administration also expedited the multimillion-dollar sale of “aircraft and munitions support” to Jordan.
According to notices published Thursday by the State Department, “the Secretary of State has determined and provided detailed justification that an emergency exists that requires the immediate sale” of the defense articles to the three nations, “thereby waiving the Congressional review requirements.”
The emergency determinations were made for nearly $8.4 billion in combined arms sales to the UAE, including Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missiles (AMRAAMs), F-16 munitions, Fixed Site- Low, Slow, Small Unmanned Aircraft Integrated Defeat Systems and long-range discrimination radar integrated with Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD).
They were also made for the sale of $8 billion in Lower Tier Air and Missile Defense Sensor Radars to Kuwait and $70.5 million in “aircraft and munitions support” to Jordan, which includes “spare parts, consumables and accessories, and repair and return support.”
Iran has targeted US facilities in each of those countries, as well as in other countries throughout the Gulf. It is unclear how quickly the defense systems and support equipment will be delivered to each country.
In early March, the administration made an emergency determination to bypass Congress and immediately sell 12,000 bombs to Israel.
Saudi Arabia could strike back at Iran "if deemed necessary," foreign minister says
Saudi Arabia could take “military actions” against Iran after Tehran stepped up its attacks on the country, Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud told CNN yesterday.
Speaking at a news conference following a meeting with regional foreign ministers in the Saudi capital of Riyadh, he told CNN’s Nic Robertson that the Saudi leadership will strike back at Iran “if deemed necessary.”
“We will not shy away from protecting our country and our economic resources,” he said.
If you want to protect your economic resources, kick the US out of your country. The Saudi regime is deeply unpopular, regime change in Saudi Arabia is also possible.
No rush...
Senate Armed Services chairman says no public hearings on war until after Easter recess
Senate Armed Services Chairman Roger Wicker told CNN he doesn’t expect his panel to have an oversight hearing on the Iran war with senior Trump officials until after the two-week Easter recess, which is scheduled to begin at the end of next week.
“I have said that we will have a public hearing,” Wicker said.
But he added: “I think it’s probably not going to fit” before the end of next week, contending there would get a “better response” after the break.
