US senators fail to block Trump sale of F-35 jets to UAE
Washington (AFP) - Democrats failed Wednesday to block the United States from selling top-of-the-line fighter-jets to the United Arab Emirates, with most senators dismissing fears that President Donald Trump was setting off a dangerous arms race.
