    Senator Markey Introduces Joint Resolution of Disapproval on U.S. Weapons Sales to Saudi Arabia

    Introduced joint resolution of disapproval opposing U.S. weapons sales to Saudi Arabia.

    “The United States must not send thousands of conventional weapons to Saudi Arabia or allow it to develop a nuclear program. I am deeply concerned by the Kingdom’s human rights abuses, the security of the region as the war in Iran rages on, and the proxy war that is escalating between Iran and Saudi Arabia in Yemen.”
