“#Biden pauses, reviews several Trump-era foreign policies<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n

The Biden administration on Wednesday paused US arms sales to the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia \u2014 one of several moves to address Trump-era foreign policies.<\/p>\n

Secretary of State Tony Blinken, who was confirmed as the nation\u2019s top diplomat on Tuesday, outlined to reporters some of the administration\u2019s immedia<\/a>te priorities at a Wednesday press briefing.<\/p>\n

Blinken said the arms sales to the two Arab nations, which were announced shortly after Election Day, will be reviewed to determine if they adhere to US national security objectives.<\/p>\n

Affected by the suspension is the $23 billion transfer of stealth F-35 fighters to the UAE.<\/p>\n

Some fear the UAE and Saudi Arabia will use the advanced US weapons to carry on the Saudi-led war in Yemen, risking more civilian deaths in the country.<\/p>\n

Blinken expressed the most serious concern over another foreign policy implemented in the waning days of the Trump administration, which designates Yemen\u2019s Houthi rebels as terrorists.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re taking a very urgent and a very close look at that,\u201d Blinken told reporters.<\/p>\n

Critics are concerned the terrorist designation, which includes strict US sanctions, will further inflame Yemen\u2019s humanitarian crisis.<\/p>\n

The US-Russia relationship will face a comprehensive review, according to Blinken.<\/p>\n

And the Biden administration also wants to take a deep dive into the U.S.-Taliban peace deal signed nearly a year ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to understand exactly what is in the agreement,\u201d Blinken said, before the administration can decide how to move forward.<\/p>\n

The deal was struck to try to withdraw all US troops from Afghanistan by May 2021 after nearly 20 years of war.<\/p>\n

Biden\u2019s administration asked that Zalmay Khalilzad, Trump\u2019s special envoy for Afghanistan,stay on board so he can \u201ccontinue the vital work he is performing,\u201d Blinken said.<\/p>\n

Regarding Iran, Blinken said the administration is prepared to ease sanctions that the Trump administration re-imposed, as long as the country returns to full compliance with the 2015 nuclear deal.<\/p>\n
