Wrzp Victim s wife: U.S. siding with Saudi Arabia over the 9/11 families
One of the highlights of President Trump s first foreign trip so far was the announcement of a landmark $110 billion Saudi arms sale.That came as the White House pushes a budget proposal that will make it harder and more expensive for countries with smaller defense budgets to buy U.S.-made weapons.The plan would alter the existing State Department foreign military financing program, which provides weapons buying assistance in the form of grants to dozens of countries. The White House now wants to convert many of those grants into loans -- in other words, those countries would eventually have to pay for those weapons.But this could create problems for the administration, an adidas samba d long-term US national security interests, for a few reasons. The military assistance program ostensibly helps those countries that help the U.S. with counterterrorism, like Pakistan, Jordan, Egypt and Lebanon. It also allows the US to keep track of specific countries military capabilities.Making the weapons more expensive could and probably will drive them to do some comparison shopping with China, which would be eager to make the sales. As a result, the U.S. will not only have lost the sales, but it will have sacrificed the knowledge of the weapons arsenals of these countries, and it could foster more closeness between China and those countries -- and greater distance from the U.S.The program also inc yeezy 350 ludes U.S. military training, which the State Department says provides the U.S. dunks shoes an obvious advan Wbsk Prince William and Kate visit a melting glacier, call for political action on climate
