UAE Arms Sale Targeted in Suit Seeking to Block $23 Billion Deal

U.S. Secretary of State Michael Pompeo was sued by an independent New York policy research group seeking to block the Trump administration’s $23 billion arms sale to the United Arab Emirates.

Pompeo, who oversees the State Department’s authorization of government-to-government arms sales, “rushed” the deal without proper oversight or justification, the New York Center For Foreign Policy Affairs said in a complaint in federal court in Washington.
