The EU Parliament urges arms embargo over Saudi Arabia, as France and the US still want to look away from Riyadh’s atrocities concerning Yemen and the Khashoggi killing
The EU Parliament passed a critical decision to punish Saudi Arabia over both the Khashoggi murder and its conduct in the Yemen war by adopting an arms embargo targeting the kingdom.
While the EU Parliament urged all member states of the union to "follow the example of Germany, Finland and Denmark, which, after the killing of the journalist Jamal Khashoggi adopted restrictions on their arms exports to Saudi Arabia," both US President Donald Trump and French President Emmanuel Macron appear to be the biggest obstacles to implement the recently embargo.
While Macron is different from the US president, he is on the same page when it comes to selling weapons to the Gulf. The UK, which is on the way to leaving the EU, has been reluctant to impose the Germany-led EU arms embargo. arguing that conducting an arms embargo over Saudi Arabia and the UAE “would be morally bankrupt and the people of Yemen would be the biggest losers.”
