Opponents of the deal are wary of granting any new assistance to Saudi Arabia in light of Riyadh's involvement in the civil war in Yemen, which has killed countless thousands of civilians and created a dire humanitarian crisis.

Pelosi, noting that Trump's first trip abroad as president was to Saudi Arabia, wondered what's driving the president's alacrity to strengthen ties with Riyadh, even as he's sought to punish more traditional allies with tariffs.
