BEIRUT, LEBANON (5:30 P.M.) – U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders spoke to CNN’s State of the Union this weekend about Washington’s potential response to Saudi Arabia over the disappearance of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

In response to the question, Senator Sanders told the host that the U.S. could halt their arms sales to the Saudi regime and pull out of Yemen.

“I think one of the strong things that we can do is not only stop military sales, not only put sanctions on Saudi Arabia, but most importantly, get out of this terrible, terrible war in Yemen led by the Saudis,” Sanders stated.

“It’s clear, we cannot have an ally who murders in cold blood, in their own consulate, a critic, a dissident, that is unacceptable,” Sanders added.
