BEIRUT, LEBANON (7:00 A.M.) – U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Mid-East Affairs, David Schenker, recommended that Saudi Arabia and other allies not purchase Russian-manufactured military equipment, including the S-400 air defense systems, an RIA Novosti report claimed on Friday.
“I will (if approved) interact with our allies to dissuade them or encourage them to refuse to acquire military equipment that is potentially under the sanctions,” Schenker said at a congressional hearing.
“In other words, I would advise Saudi Arabia not to do this,” Schenker stressed.
