Is President Trump's $110 Billion Arms Deal For Saudi Arabia About To Get Blocked In The Senate?

During his first foreign trip as president of the United States, Donald Trump visited Saudi Arabia where he sealed a $110 billion arms deal for the country. The goal was to balance out power with Iran, but raised concerns among pro-Israel lawmakers on Capitol Hill. Further, the arms package has prompted serious questions about significantly helping a country with a history of funding or fostering terrorism. After all, the majority of the 9/11 hijackers came from Saudi Arabia.
