Sen. Paul Seeks to Block Military Sale to Saudi Arabia

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., a frequent critic of Saudi Arabia, introduced a joint resolution July 30 to disapprove a possible $2.8 billion military sale to the kingdom. The resolution was referred to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. The sale, which the Defense Security Cooperation Agency announced July 23, includes “follow-on logistics support and services” for defense-related hardware and parts (see 2407240002).
