President Joe Biden's administration has temporarily paused some pending arms sales to U.S. allies in order to review them, a U.S. State Department official said on Wednesday.
Reviews of this sort are typical for a new administration, but Donald Trump's administration was doing deals down to the wire, including one for 50 stealthy F-35 jets made by Lockheed Martin as a side deal to the Abraham accords inked only moments before Biden was sworn into office.
The Department is temporarily pausing the implementation of some pending U.S. defense transfers and sales under Foreign Military Sales and Direct Commercial Sales to allow incoming leadership an opportunity to review, the official said.
The F-35 jets are a major component of a $23 billion sale of high-tech armaments from General Atomics, Lockheed and Raytheon Technologies Corp to the United Arab Emirates.

The UAE published a list of 82 designated terrorist groups. Nestled between al-Qaeda and Islamic State (ISIS) was the Council on American Islamic Relations, or CAIR, a group with deep ties to the Democratic Party. Everybody knows terro=tied CAIR is a front for Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood.
Everything Biden does makes America’s enemies happy—foreign and domestic!
“Yes...Put more people out of work.”

All part of the Biden Plan to revive the economy.
Temporary. All the are doing is lining up money to be sent to the right people.
Pay to play.

The price of gasoline is up 30 cents in our area since Xiden has stolen office. I think high gasoline prices is part of their plan.
I’m not a fan of Beijing Joe but halting arms sales to Saudi Arabia is a good idea. The are a hotbed of Wahabbism and indirect financier of many terrorist-brainwashing centers while pretending to be our allies.

They’ll just get them from England or somebody else while American workers read about it, instead of building the product. I guess this balances

Isn’t this what got Trump impeached the first time?

Many Freepers say a job is a job is a job. They say get off your lazy ass and go work at Amazon, McDonald’s or Walmart for part-time minimum wage and no benefits. $20k a year ain’t bad they say.
Never mind you might have had a 30 year career with full benefits.
Not Biden, but his handlers. He is just a puppet, IMHO.
