Why Saudi defense deal concerns Sen. Rand Paul

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) weighs in on the Saudi defense deal, Russian probe and the White House budget plans.

On the first stop of his nine-day trip overseas, President Trump signed a $110 billion arms deal with Saudi Arabia to better equip the country as it combats terrorism. During an appearance on the FOX Business Network Wednesday, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) said he is skeptical about what the Saudis will actually do with the weapons.

“This isn’t like trying to convince someone to buy apples from the United States or to buy tobacco from the United States – this is something intimately involved with our national security and we shouldn’t sell weapons to countries who I think may well do more harm than good with those weapons,” Sen. Paul said.
