Aatmja Kumari(Intern Journalist): The Trump administration informally informs Congress of a plan to sell advanced fighter jets to the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Elias Engel, chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said in a statement Thursday that Congress should analyze all the effects of F-35 exports. He said that it is not in anyone’s interest to stop this sale. On the other hand, the Democratic Party has opposed this move of the Trump administration.
The Democratic Party says the sale of the F-35 to the UAE will change the military balance in the Gulf and affect Israel’s military growth. He also expressed concern about the possible leaks of the F-35’s sensitive technology, according to the news agency Xinhua and sales could generate demand for advanced weapons from other Arab states.
