Senator Chris Murphy warns of bomb sales by the Trump administration to Saudi Arabia without Congress approval.

US President Donald Trump’s administration may issue a new sale of bombs to Saudi Arabia over Iran’s threat.

Congressional aides said there are provisions of the Arms Control Act, which sets rules for international arms transactions, that would allow a president to approve a sale without congressional review in case of a national emergency. It was not immediately clear what equipment would be sold to Saudi Arabia or when any sale might go ahead.

Many lawmakers from both parties have also expressed anger over the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi at a Saudi consulate in Turkey.
