Don’t Let Saudi Arabia Get Nukes

“In response to the horrific slaying of Jamal Khashoggi in Istanbul, a bipartisan group of United States Senators have banded together to stop the potential trade between the United States and Saudi Arabia.

It will only happen if the right incentives are offered and those incentives are the same today as they were in the first Space race.”
