British campaigners urge Joe Biden to keep his promise on ending arms sales to Saudi Arabia
BRITISH campaigners urged new US President Joe Biden today to stick to his promise on ending the country’s support for the Saudi-led war on Yemen through arms sales.
The bombing and blockade of Yemen, which began in March 2015, has created the worst humanitarian crisis in the world and US-made weapons have played a key role in the war.
Mr Biden repeatedly promised to end arms sales and military support to Saudi Arabian forces throughout his presidential campaign.
