There was a long-standing Congressional pattern for the major weapon sale, which was overlooked by US President Trump when he informed Congressional committees that he was going forward with the 22 military sales to Saudis, United Emirates, and Jorden.

The members of the committee were blocking sales of weapons for months to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, as they were angry about the civilian tolls from the air campaign in Yemen. Also, they trolled Trump that there was no need for declaring Nation emergency and that Trump used this loophole to sell the bombs to Saudis and the United Arab Emirates.
