Why is no one talking about Trump's last- ditch arms sale to the UAE ? [View all]
Move On just sent out this message and I heard brief mention of it a few days ago on some news broadcast but it seems to be mostly under the radar?
Any of you following this or seen anything in the media? I've seen nothing on DU.
Message that just came from MoveOn:
Right now, Trump is trying to ram through a massive last minute sale of $23.37 BILLION in weapons to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) — the same bombs that they and Saudi Arabia use to murder Yemeni civilians and exacerbate a humanitarian crisis — and the time for us STOP the sale is already running out.
Trump is still in the White House until January 20, 2021. And between now and Inauguration Day, untold damage can be unleashed, including weapons sales like this one.
But we have a CRITICAL, narrow window to stop this sale: by law, Congress has 30 days to intervene and block the sale. The clock is ticking, but luckily, we’ve done this before, and there’s no doubt that together, we can get loud enough so that (once again) Congress listens.
Sign now to tell Congress: End U.S. complicity in Yemen, stop Trump’s arm sale to the UAE.
