U.S. Contractors Are Still Helping Maintain Saudi Warplanes Used in Yemen War
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Pentagon has confirmed to the news outlet Vox that U.S. contractors
are continuing to help Saudi Arabia maintain its warplanes despite
President Biden's pledge to end offensive support for Saudi Arabia's
devastating six-year war in Yemen. The Pentagon defended the role of the
contractors, saying the U.S military relationship with Saudi Arabia is
"important to the region."
