Republican Senator and chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Bob Corker said on Monday that he would block the sale of arms to members of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) until the current dispute with Qatar was resolved.
“All countries in the region need to do more to combat terrorism, but recent disputes among the GCC countries only serve to hurt efforts to fight ISIS and counter Iran,” Sen. Corker wrote in a letter to Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.
The GCC is a regional political and economic body comprised by Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain and Qatar.
