Senate votes to block Trump's Saudi arms sale
By Jordain Carney - 06/20/19 12:10 PM EDT

The Senate is voting Thursday to block President Trump’s Saudi arms deal, paving the way for a veto clash with the White House.

Senators voted 53-45 in favor of a resolution of disapproval to block one of the 22 arms sales the administration noticed to Congress, though the vote is ongoing.

The Senate is expected to block the entire arms deal on Thursday with two additional back-to-back subsequent votes.


The sale, estimated to be worth more than $8 billion, would provide weapons to Saudi Arabia, as well as the United Arab Emirates and Jordan.

Largely irrelevant, until it has 67 votes.

This is going to be a big kick in the shins from Lindsey Graham.  The Trumps love the Royal Family.
