US Senator for Kentucky Paul Rand condemned against US weapons sales to Saudi Arabia at the Senate in Washington DC on Tuesday, saying he wouldn’t sell “them a rifle, much less precision-guided missiles”.

Rand called Saudi Arabia that “the number one exporter of ‘Let’s hate America”.

Rand added that he, with US Senator for Connecticut Chris Murphy, will put forward a bill to make future arms sales dependent on controlling in Saudi military involvement in Yemen’s civil war. He called the famine in Yemen “of biblical proportions”, saying the situation “is being done without your permission, but with your weapons.”
