The State Department announced that the Biden administration has chosen to end the embargo on offensive weaponry supplies to Saudi Arabia. This decision reversals a three-year-old strategy to put pressure on the monarchy to end the Yemen war.
According to Reuters, a senior department official acknowledged that the State Department was relaxing its ban on certain air-to-ground weapons deliveries to Saudi Arabia. "We will consider new transfers on a typical case-by-case basis consistent with the Conventional Arms Transfer Policy," added the official.
