The US is set to sell 650 million worth of weapons to Saudi Arabia
The United States State Department has approved its first major arms sale to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia under President Joe Biden with the sale of 280 air-to-air missiles valued at up to $650 million, the Pentagon says.
While Saudi Arabia is an important partner in the Middle East, US politicians have criticised Riyadh for its involvement in the war in Yemen, a conflict considered one of the world's worst humanitarian disasters.
They have refused to approve many military sales for the kingdom without assurances US equipment would not be used to kill civilians.
