US president Donald Trump has used veto on the deal to sell arms worth $ 8 billion to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
The US Congress issued a proposal to stop the deal, expressing concern over the deal.
But Trump has said that these proposals will weaken the American competition at the global level and disrupt relationships with American colleagues.
Some members of the Congress expressed concern over the deal and said that they feared that this weapon can be used against the urban population in the war of Yemen.
These members also condemned the role of Saudi Arabia in the murder of Yemen's war and journalist Jamal Khashojji.
The ruling Republican Party spokesman Mitch McConnell has said that the Senate will vote on the trump of this trump being dismissed in the next few days.
But analysts say that it is certain that the Senate will get a two-thirds majority to take such a step.
In Yemen, people are snatching food from hunger's mouth
Where is the help coming to Yemen after going
This is the third time since assuming power that President Trump has used his privileges.
In May of this year, the White House announced an emergency and carried forward the arms deal by keeping the legislature aside. During this, Trump had blamed the growing tension with Iran for its decision.
But after his decision, he gave birth to a protest against him in Washington.
Several Senate members associated with the Republican Party had also said that this was not a good reason for Congress to decide on the edge.
At the same time, Trump has said that prevention of US arms sales can be a long stretch of war in Yemen and in the absence of accurate target weapons, more common citizens are expected to be killed.
They also said that Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are like a wall against Iran.
Tensions have increased considerably since Iran became President of Trump. Trump took the United States out of the nuclear deal to keep Iran's nuclear program in control.
After this, tension has increased between the two, due to the movement of oil tankers on Hormuz Bay in the past few days.
According to a report from the United Nations, the murder of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi was the hand of Saudi Prince Crown Prince Mohammed-bin Salman and his family.
The United Nations requested the United States to investigate the case by the American investigating agency FBI, which Trump rejected. America is aggressive about democracy and human rights in many countries including Iran but when it comes to Saudi Arabia, it becomes silent.
Is Saudi Arabia not afraid of anyone? Who is afraid of Saudi Arabia?
America knows the answers to both these questions. Two years ago, Saudi Arabia blocked the Qatar and broke all diplomatic relations, then the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Egypt, Maldives, Mauritania, Comoros, the exiled government of Yemen and Libya were standing with Saudi Arabia.
Saudi was accused that Qatar was supporting terrorist activities. Saudi has banned its airspace for the Qatar planes. Qatar has been isolated from all neighboring countries and it continues to this day.
Saudi has made himself a ninth leader in the Middle East. Saudi Arabia is trying to work on all the Sunni Muslim countries, especially Arab Gulf countries under her subordinates.
If Qatar does not listen, then the blockade has continued till today. This Saudi effort is not just for Qatar, but the real target is Iran. Saudi believes Iran to be its main competitor.
Saudi is trying to become a leader in the Middle East but he is also backfire in every step. Notwithstanding the blockade of Saudi, neither did he bow down and nor did any major damage. Although this does not mean that Saudi has weakened about these things but has strengthened in many cases.
Saudi richness is not new to oil and natural gas.
The third big country to spend on defense
Saudi has prepared a large army from its richness. According to Stockholm International Peace Research, Saudi Arabia spent $ 70 billion on defense in 2017. This amount is 10 percent of Saudi GDP.
With this expenditure, Saudi Arabia has become the third largest country to spend on defense. Saudi Arabia is also effective in the OPEC and Gulf Cooperation Council as well. Along with this, America is also the world's most powerful country.
In the interview given to NBC, US President Donald Trump had even told that the deal for arms deal with Saudi Arabia is more important than democracy and human rights. That slogan of Trump makes it clear how he wants to make the United States great again. Trump has clearly said that for him, Hamad deal with Saudi Arabia is more important than the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.
Saudis have also followed the ways when he used to show his power by paying money to friends, Muslim leaders and media houses.
Now the image of Crown Prince Salman is that he spend a lot of money to punish his critics and enemies.
It is being said that diplomacy in MBBS is more intensely cumbersome than it is. Yemen has become a battleground where Saudi is fighting against Iran's pseudo-war.
Critics also point out that US President Donald Trump wants to leave behind a scandal behind the scandal of America's human rights, and it does not want to let it fall in relations with Saudi. However, it is also said that the parody of American human rights parade has already taken off.
Why forgive every sin of Saudi?
The accounts of the dictatorships of the world and their corrupt leaders kept the International Tribunals or Truth-and-Reconciliation Commission, but there was no exception for Saudi Arabia. In 1938, when the huge reservoir of oil was found in Saudi Arabia, the royal family here had a tremendous strength.
This is the power through which the world economy can be stabilized or the situation of turbulence can be brought. Under the guise of this power, the entire West and even the United Nations, including the United States, tolerated every stubbornness of Saudi.
Saudi not only kept human rights in his home but also suspected of extending financial help to extremist Islamic groups Taliban, Nusra Front and Syria, actively involved in al-Qaeda.
In exchange for all this, Saudi has given many concessions to the United States. Saudi allowed American Air Force fighters to fly in the most important areas of the world and also provided a profitable market for US military equipment.
In conjunction with Iran, the United States gave Saudi support freely. In such a case, there is no secret for diplomats why the United States is silent in Canada's insult.
Chassey Freeman, who was ambassador to Saudi Arabia in Saudi, told Newsweek: "There has been no role in human rights and values in the US-Saudi relations. From the very beginning, the relations of the two countries have been operating with the interests of mutual national interests. "
The foundation of America and Saudi relations was placed in Valentine's Day in 1945. The same day, American President Franklin D. Roosevelt and the founder of Saudi Arabia, King Abdulaziz ibn Saud, met the US Navy ship in the Suez Canal.
At this meeting King Abdulaziz agreed to give Saudi oil cheaply to the USA. In return, Roosevelt pledged to save King from external enemies.
This love has flourished between the two countries of Valentine's Day, six Israeli-Arab warfare, while the two were standing in separate camps. In the Arabian oil crisis of 1973, the flames of both countries did not come to the notice.
The security equation for oil is so strong that it did not affect the 9/11 attacks even though most of the aircraft hijackers were citizens of Saudi Arabia.
The love of both of them remained in every difficult time.
When the US attacked Iraq in 2003, Saudi knew that Iran would be stronger by ending Saddam Hussein's regime, but the flaw of that period did not come as a scandal in both relations.
When war broke out in the Gulf of Persia in 1991, then President George H. W. Bush of the US, in defense of the agreement of Roosevelt, was protected from the Iraqi army of Saudi Arabia.
The foundation of relationships that came in 1945 undoubtedly progressed, but the entire monarchy and its socio-religious rules in Saudi, like the head of the criminals, are against the democratic values of the West. America has often been uncomfortable with these things.
There have been only two occasions in the 73-year relationship when there is a situation of tension in the United States and Saudi Arabia.
Riddle, author of the Brookings Institution and 'Kings and Presidents: Saudi Arabia and the United States Sins FDR', has told the Wall Street Journal, "In 1962, President John F. Kennedy was called to crown the crown prince to the then Crown Prince Faisal Had to coax. The second time came when President Barack Obama had to persuade King Salman to bar Rif Badawi, who is locked in prison, in public for physical punishment in 2015. "
"Badawi has been punished for killing one thousand rows in the case of 10 years of imprisonment and humiliation of Islam, and this sentence has been found to be written for writing a blog, 50 Kod Badawi has already been installed."
Jimmy Carter is considered the first President of America in this case, who placed human rights in foreign policy on top. Since 1977, the US State Department started making annual reports on the human rights of the countries of the world. Ridel says that Neither Carter nor the other presidents ever made such reports on Saudi.
Since the arrival of Crown Prince Salman, a large number of human rights activists, women and women fighting for women's rights were arrested and imprisoned in Saudi Arabia and President Trump has also made his predecessors stand.
Even the well-known journalist Jamal Khashojji of Saudi Arabia was murdered at the Consulate of Saudi Arabia in Turkey and Saudi also accepted the assassination, yet the US does not get angry.
According to the New York Times, Trump said, "I do not want to cancel the $ 110 billion deal from Saudi. This is the biggest deal so far. It is ready to seal both Russia and China. "
I have not come to give a lecture
In his statement, Trump has cited defense deals between the two countries last year. Trump says this deal will allow US citizens to get a job.
Trump has cleared that "the financial implications of the benefits matter to them, not human rights." In May 2017, Trump opted for Saudi Arabia for the first foreign tour. Previously, the president chose neighboring Canada or Mexico as the first foreign tour.
Trump became the first President of the United States, who made it clear that he has no place for human rights in diplomatic relations. On his Saudi tour, Trump had said, "I have not come to give a speech here. I have not come here because I want to tell you how to live, what to do and how to worship your Arada.
In the last three years, the House of Saud and the White House have increased further. Trump's son-in-law Jared Kussner and Saudi Prince Crown Prince Mohammed bin-Salman have a great friendship. The relationship between the two grew up during the presidential election in the United States and continued even after becoming President of Trump in 2016.
Obama's different policy
Saudi was opposing Obama's nuclear deal with Iran, so he wanted that the trump won the election as Trump was referring to breaking the deal in his election campaigns.
MBS was willing to do anything to suppress Iranian ambitions. In January 2015, the MBS became Saudi Defense Minister. After becoming Defense Minister, MBS attacked the Islamic rebels in Yemen.
Obama did not agree with this attack on MBBS and they are also told to be reluctant about the supply of weapons. When the MBS convinced the dependence of the Saudi economy to reduce oil, open for foreign investment and social reform, the West felt somewhere that it was a revolutionary ruler. MBS made many improvements related to women. Women in Saudi Arabia can now cover the streets without wearing a mouth, they can wear colorful burqa and also drive the car.
Why love trump so much love
The trumpets on Saudi were the most vulnerable to any country in the west. He remained silent about the brutality that the MBS used to carry out cruelty with his rivals inside and outside the country. By accusing Kerry of Iran, Saudi has blocked the block against Qatar.
Lebanon's Sunni Prime Minister Saad Hariri was taken into custody in Saudi Arabia last year and was forced to resign on the charge of supporting Iran-supported Hezbollah.
MBS began to put in jail hundreds of wealthy businessmen in the anti-corruption campaign within the country, in which high-profile dozens of princes were also arrested.
It is being said that till September, MBS has made political prisoners close to 2000 people. The trump kept silent on all these sentences. Many analysts believe that the US does not want to engage in any war in the Middle East because its experience of Iraq and Afghanistan is not well.
