The US House of Representatives on Thursday voted in favor of three legislation banning the sale of weapons to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
Al-Jazeera reported in an urgent news that the US House of Representatives voted for three legislation banning the sale of smart bombs to Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
The vote came about a month after the Senate approved 22 resolutions rejecting Trump’s plan to sell weapons despite objections from Congress.
The House of Representatives passed three of these resolutions.
MPs voted to block $ 8.1 billion worth of arms deals for Saudi Arabia and other Washington allies.
MPs, many of whom are angry at Saudi Arabia over the war in Yemen and the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi last year, have passed a series of resolutions banning controversial arms deals because of emergency measures that would bypass congressional approval.
