The U.S. is a top seller of arms (guns, land mines, bombs, rockets). This lucrative arms trade brings death and destruction to millions of people around the world, many of them civilians, as in Yemen.

More than 40 of the top major arms manufacturers are based in the U.S.

President Donald Trump smirks and lets us know that he is more interested in completing an arms deal with Saudi Arabia for $110 billion than in seeking truth and justice for a journalist’s murder and dismemberment in a Saudi Arabian consulate.

Is there no tipping point for this administration?
