A New Move from the US to Counter Saudi Arabia and China

New York

According to the news that the American press organization CNN has based on three sources close to the subject, the US government received intelligence that Saudi Arabia, which received aid from China, increased its ballistic missile program significantly.

Sources noted that the Donald Trump administration did not initially reveal this intelligence to important members of the Congress, and that some Democratic Congress members heard this intelligence from elsewhere and were very angry because they were left out of the subject.

 According to secret intelligence, Saudi Arabia has recently made purchases from China to improve both its missile infrastructure and technology.

Sources said these developments in Saudi Arabia raise concern among some Congress members about the prospect of a new arms war in the Middle East.

Saudi Arabia Conflict between Trump and Congress

The day before, it was revealed that the Trump administration allowed some American companies to share sensitive nuclear information with Saudi Arabia right after the murder of Khashoggi.

Democrat Virginia Senator Tim Kaine said in a statement to the press the Congress the day before that he saw documents that showed the Trump administration "allowed some American firms to share sensitive nuclear information to Saudi Arabia" on October 18, 2018, just 16 days after the Khashoggi murder.

Kaine emphasized that the US administration found this privilege to the Saudis "very disturbing" shortly after the murder, which had a great impact throughout the world and pressured Riyadh as well as Washington.

Yesterday, a group of senators in the United States protested the emergency powers that "bypassed" Congressional approval in arms sales to countries such as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates used by President Donald Trump administration.
