The signing of an agreement for the sale of arms USA . Saudi Arabia during the visit of Donald Trump the Arab kingdom, which was sold trumpeted by the administration Trump appears to be a 'false news' invented by those involved.
Moreover, all pre-agreements come from the Obama era.
Bruce Riedel of the Brookings Institution (US research center non-profit), based that conclusion on research he has done to clarify the matter.
Riedel says that according to his contacts with people involved in defense business, there is no contract valued at 110 billion dollars between Washington and Riyadh for arms sales to the Saudis (and few services to strengthen the capacity of the kingdom Saudi in the region) but a lot of letters of interest or intent.
According to the author of the report, many of these documents are deals in which the defense industry believes that the Saudis might be interested someday.So far, nothing has been notified Senate USA . for your review.
The Agency for Cooperation Defense Security Section arms sales Pentagon calls "intentional sales" , Riedel said, then emphasized that "none of the offerings identified so far are new, it all began in Administration president Obama " .
What actually did the Saudis and Trump Management is a theoretical package wish list Saudi Arabia of possible future agreements, and falsely described as a closed sale agreement.
Thus, concludes Bruce Riedel, the alleged agreement between Washington and Riyadh closed for arms sales, it is a false story driven by the White House, with the approval of the Saudi regime.
An example of this is a proposal for sale to the Royal Navy Arabia four frigates (warships called multi-mission surface).
This proposal was first presented in 2015 by the Obama State Department, although there is no contract for it. Type frigate is a derivative of a vessel that uses the Navy US ., But the derivative does not yet exist.
Another piece is the defense system Terminal High Altitude Area (THAAD) which was recently installed in South Korea. The Saudis have expressed interest in this system several years ago, but there is no concluded contracts.
And so the "wish list" of the Saudis.
Also on the wish list are 150 helicopters Black Hawk. Again, this is an old repackaged news. What did the Saudis and the administration is to gather in a theoretical package wish list for future purchases of Saudi Arabia and present it as a done deal.
And yet, the numbers do not. It is false news.
The researcher also recalls that it is unlikely that the Saudis can pay a settlement of $ 110 billion, given the financial problems faced by low oil prices and the high cost of its aggression against Yemen for more two years, which has killed more than 12,000 people.
To confirm these suspicions to the Department of Defense US . just approved two large military contracts with Saudi Arabia, with a total of over 1400 million dollars and has been considered by Congress, arguing that it is not yet a done deal.
This shows that the alleged 110 billion dollars plus 350 billion in arms sales for the next decade allegedly signed with Saudi Arabia, actually are not a firm offer, because it was not informed of this Congress, such and as Riedel warns.
In addition, the question whether, if they had closed sign those contracts 110 billion, now would it present a possible contract 1.4 billion, since it is logical to conclude that it would be included in the above, in the case of it would have been really signed.
If true exposing Riedel, we face another lie Trump and his henchmen.
One more.
Actually, it looks like a paranormal phenomenon.
How you can lie so much and so often?
But above all, how can there still people who believe him?
