US to resume sales of 'offensive' weapons to Saudi Arabia

Description

The United States says it would resume sales of offensive weapons to Saudi Arabia, several years after they were suspended over human rights concerns in Yemen. Since the freeze, and with a truce holding in Yemen, Saudi Arabia has "met their end of the deal, and we are prepared to meet ours," State Department spokesman Vedant Patel tells reporters.
