President Joe Biden had promised to end support for offensive operations by the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen and stop all relevant" arms sales, but the U.S. continues to service Saudi warplanes, and the administration recently approved the sale of $650 million in air-to-air missiles to Saudi Arabia. Congressmember Ro Khanna, one of the most outspoken congressional critics of the war, says the U.S. has the power to stop the fighting. We could ground the Saudi Air Force to a halt tomorrow if we stopped supplying them with tires and parts," says Khanna. Instead, we continue to authorize arms sales to the Saudis."
