🌐 Foreign Policy · Second Term (2025–present) · 🤖 AI-categorized
The State Department expedited arms sales valued at $8.6 billion to Persian Gulf countries and Israel, bypassing standard congressional review procedures. The deals were justified as responses to Iranian attacks during ongoing U.S.-Israeli military operations. This action circumvented traditional checks on foreign military aid and congressional oversight of defense exports.
