Washington, August 4 (RHC)-- The Joe Biden administration has approved $5 billion in missile sales to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates — two countries accused of committing war crimes in Yemen.
Under the deal, Saudi Arabia will buy 300 Patriot missiles made by Raytheon for $3 billion, and the UAE will purchase nearly 100 anti-ballistic THAAD missiles made by Lockheed Martin.
The weapons sales were agreed to just weeks after Biden’s controversial visit to Saudi Arabia.
