Saudi and its main accomplice in the war on Yemen, the UAE, "have used the US-manufactured weapons as a form of currency to buy the loyalties of militias or tribes, bolster chosen armed actors, and influence the complex political landscape,” CNN said in a report Monday, citing local commanders on the ground and analysts.
The report added that Houthi Ansarullah fighters have also managed to gain access to the weapons "exposing some of America's sensitive military technology to Tehran.”
During his maiden state visit, US President Donald Trump went to Saudi Arabia where he signed a massive $110 billion arms deal with the oil-rich kingdom.
