The Biden administration has approved $5 billion in missile sales to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates — two countries accused of committing war crimes in Yemen. Under the deal, Saudi Arabia will buy 300 Patriot missiles made by Raytheon for $3 billion, and the UAE will purchase nearly 100 anti-ballistic THAAD missiles made by Lockheed Martin. The weapons sales were agreed to just weeks after Biden’s controversial visit to Saudi Arabia.
