Also, the Congress noted the deterioration of relations with Saudi Arabia and the UAE in connection with the conflict in Yemen.

Trump's response was decisive. All resolutions, prohibiting the sale of arms to the Middle East, he vetoed, noting, that any prohibition of "damaging relations with allies and weakens the competitiveness of the US".
