The Trump administration approved two nuclear technology transfers to Saudi Arabia after the murder of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi, according to Democratic lawmakers who reviewed documents related to the deals, which they oppose.
"The alarming realization that the Trump administration signed off on sharing our nuclear know-how with the Saudi regime after it brutally murdered an American resident adds to a disturbing pattern of behavior," Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., said in a statement that condemned"President Trump's eagerness to give the Saudis anything they want, over bipartisan congressional objection.
The first deal approved after Khashoggi's killing was a little over two weeks after he went into the Saudi consulate and just one day before the Saudis admitted he was dead. At that point, the Trump administration was urging caution, and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo called for a"complete investigation" into his"disappearance."
"It is clear that the only reason the Trump administration withheld this information for so long was to hide what it was doing and escape Congressional oversight," Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., said Tuesday."The Trump administration appears determined to befriend the Saudi regime and ignite a potentially disastrous Middle East nuclear arms race."
