Congress: Add Sanctions on Saudi Regime to @LindseyGrahamSC Turkey Sanctions Bill

The Issue

Senator Lindsey Graham says he’s introducing a bill to sanction Turkey for its invasion of northern Syria. Among other things, the proposed bill would prohibit the transfer of all U.S. weapons, services, and ammunition to the Turkish military. It would sanction any foreigner who provides weapons to the Turkish military.  
 
This should be an opportunity to sanction the Saudi regime for its continuation of its war and blockade in Yemen, which aid groups say has already starved more than 85,000 Yemeni children to death – a war that Congress has already voted to end unconstitutional U.S. participation in.
 
The UN says Yemen will become the world's poorest country if the Saudi war in Yemen continues, with four out of five Yemenis in poverty and three out of five Yemenis in extreme poverty.
 
Urge Congress to prohibit any U.S. assistance to the Saudi regime's military on Senator Graham’s Turkey sanctions bill by signing our petition.
