Grim Reaper 6 Posted December 2, 2020 #1 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Congress will soon have its final chance to rein in President Donald Trump’s foreign policy agenda, with lawmakers preparing to force votes to block a massive new weapons sale to the Middle East. Trump’s most contentious foreign-policy decisions have often drawn bipartisan rebukes; now the Trump administration’s 11th-hour proposed arms transfer to the United Arab Emirates is coming under scrutiny from members of both parties. Critics say it’s not just harmful policy — threatening an arms race in the region and jeopardizing Israel’s security — but an unfair gambit to box in the incoming Biden administration. A Senate aide familiar with the classified briefing said there were “major issues” left undecided about the transfer, including specific obligations that the UAE will have to honor as part of the deal. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo previously said the goal of the transfer was to “deter and defend against increased threats from Iran.” https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/congress-readies-final-rebuke-of-trump-foreign-policy/ar-BB1bxscH @RoofGardener Here is the rest of the story! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
