Congress Democrats seek to preve weapons from selling to the UAE
At the same time as Trump’s visit to the region, the Democrats of the US Congress have sought to block the sales of arms to the Persian Gulf in the Gulf due to the UAE’s involveme in Sudan’s civil war and concern over Ramsar’s relations.
According to RCO News Agency, the effort was made by the US Congress Democrats just the day when US Preside Donald Trump announced new $ 5 billion coracts with the UAE.
Chris Murphy, Chris Phone Hollen, Brian Shatz and Tim Kane, Democratic Congress and Bernie Sanders, an independe member, preseed opposition resolutions in the Senate, preveing three weapons from selling to the UAE, according to Reuters.
Gregory Mix, a senior democrat for the Foreign Relations Committee of the House of Represeatives and Sarah Jacobs, a senior Democrat at the African subsidiary committee, preseed opposition resolutions in the House of Represeatives.

Members of the US House of Represeatives also said the Trump administration had decided to coinue selling weapons to the UAE despite Gregory Mix opposition to such transactions because of his concerns about Sudan clashes.
Mix and Jacobs said in a stateme that the Trump administration’s final bypass in Congress is irresponsible and provokes the United Arab Emirates to violate UN weapons sanctions in Darfur and coinue its support for the rapid reaction forces and the killing of innoce civilians.
US law requires Congress reviewing major weapons transactions and allows Senate members to vote on opposition resolutions that preve it from selling. Although the law does not allow the members of the parliame to impose such a decision, the resolutions must be passed in Congress and poteially survived the presideial veto to be implemeed.
Among the weapons in the resolutions and are set to sell to the UAE include selling $ 1.5 billion in helicopters and equipme, $ 5 million for the F-1 aircraft and $ 5 million for parts, logistics and support for Apache, Black Hawk and Shinok.
