U.A.E; Biden Administration Suspends F-35 deal

The Biden administration has reportedly temporarily frozen the sale of F-35 jets to the U.A.E., and munitions to Saudi Arabia.

U.S. officials said Washington is currently reviewing the two arms sales that had been approved by former U.S. President Donald Trump, Bloomberg reported today.

Reacting to the development, U.A.E. Ambassador to the U.S. Yousef Al Otaiba stated that the country “anticipated a review of current policies by the new administration.” He reassured that “U.A.E. will work closely with the Biden administration on a comprehensive approach to Middle East peace and stability.”
