A bipartisan group of US senators has introduced four separate resolutions intended to halt a major proposed sale of advanced F-35 fighter jets and armed drones to the United Arab Emirates.
Senators Bob Menendez (D-NJ), Rand Paul, (R-KY) and Chris Murphy (D-CT) introduced the measures on Wednesday opposing the sale, which they say could imperil the F-35’s highly classified technology and lead to an arms race in the Middle East.
