The United States should “rethink” arms sales to Saudi Arabia, following the kingdom’s support for Russia in the war against Ukraine, Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) said Sunday.
“For years, we’ve looked the other way as Saudi Arabia has chopped up journalists, has engaged in massive political oppression, for one reason: We wanted to know that when the chips were down … the Saudis would choose us instead of Russia,” Murphy said on ABC’s “This Week.” “Well, they didn’t.”
He added, “There’s gotta be consequences for that.”
