The Trump administration is reportedly continuing US support for the Saudi-led military operation in Yemen that has killed thousands of civilians, in order to safeguard American arms sales to Gulf allies.

Mike Pompeo, the secretary of state, is said to have recently decided to continue America’s increasingly controversial involvement, after being told if it stopped it could threaten $2bn of sales of US-manufactured weapons to Washington’s allies in the Gulf.

Nice to know that's all it takes for the second most powerful person in the US to decide something.

Only $2bn for US supported war-crimes? That's a steal! Who says the Trump admin aren't the best at deals?

We’re losing billions in Trump’s retarded trade war, so I guess we gotta make up for the losses with civilian blood.
