American weapons completely legitimately and then they sold them on or pass them on to forces fighting in libya what kind of rules have been breached and how serious a breach would that be. Well martin this is called an end user agreement in other words when the United States agrees to to sell weapons in this case these javelin missiles as mentioned theyre made by the 2 us major defense contractors Lockheed Martin and raytheon and theyre really top of the line weapons of this sort theyre considered. Capable of taking out virtually any tank anywhere but the rule is if the u. S. Sells it to the u. A. E. Or to another country the u. A. E. Is not allowed to then sell it to someone else be that a another country or perhaps a state under some sort of u. N. Sanctions or in in this case apparently a warlord who is also under u. N. Sanctions and we did reach out to the u. S. State department and a spokesperson gave us a written statement which is in part as follows we take all allegations of misuse of u. S. Origin defense articles very seriously of the spokesperson said we are aware of these reports and we are seeking Additional Information we expect all recipients of u. S. Origin defense equipment to abide by the end use obligations and the statement goes on to say that the u. S. Supports u. N. Efforts at mediation in libya and that only a political solution can provide peace in that country but its unclear exactly what the United States might do if this is found to have been a violation of those rules as you put it martine because the u. A. E. Buys a lot of weapons from the United States as does saudi arabia and the u. S. Is considers the u. A. E. To be a strong ally so given that President Trump has shown an inclination to value arms sales very highly even above other human rights considerations and so forth its really i cannot say whether the United States is going to cut off the u. A. E. It seems quite unlikely however all right rob reynolds live in washington thank you. Now 5 children are among 8 People Killed in yemen in ash writes led by the saudi u. A. E.
