President Barack Obama’s administration has canceled the transfer of some munitions to ally Saudi Arabia, amid anger about the civilian death toll from the Kingdom’s campaign in Yemen.
“We have made clear that US security cooperation is not a blank check,” a senior administration official told AFP.
“Consequently, we have decided to not move forward with some foreign military sales (FMS) cases for munitions,” the source said. “This reflects our continued, strong concerns with the flaws in the coalition’s targeting practices and overall prosecution of the air campaign in Yemen.”
The United States of America has always been the main sponsor of the Saudi terrorist activities in Yemen, Iraq, Syria and other countries.
Yemen has been since March 26, 2015 under brutal aggression by Saudi-led coalition.
Thousands have been martyred and injured in the attack, with the vast majority of them are civilians.
Riyadh launched the attack on Yemen in a bid to restore power to fugitive ex-president Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi who is a close ally to Saudi Arabia.
