The Biden administration temporarily freezes US arms sales to Saudi Arabia

On January 27th, the administration of US President Joe Biden announced a temporary freeze on arms sales to Saudi Arabia.

The Associated Press quoted the US State Department as saying in a statement that the new administration is reviewing sales, but has not made any decision on whether it will actually take place.

The statement said that the pause was a routine administrative measure taken by most new departments with large-scale arms sales, noting that the review process includes Selling precision-guided munitions to Riyadh as well as F-35 fighters to Abu Dhabi.

The administration of former US President Trump has been working continuously to supply weapons to the Saudi regime, which has been leading  the war on   Yemen since 2015.
