Paul</a></span> intends to force a vote on a $110 billion defense deal President Trump signed with Saudi Arabia, according to an aide to the Kentucky Republican.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 20px; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.4;" class="">
Paul is expected to introduce a measure to disapprove of the sale later on Wednesday, the aide said, over concerns that the deal may pull the U.S. into Yemen's civil war. </p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 20px; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.4;" class="">
The move will allow Paul to force a vote in early June. Under the Arms Export Control Act, he can bring the measure up on the Senate floor after 10 calendar days, but the Senate is leaving town on Friday for a week-long Memorial Day break.</p>

Paul argued that that deal, which the Obama administration approved last August, would interject the U.S. in Yemen’s civil war. Saudi Arabia is leading a coalition supporting the former Yemeni government.

Trump last Saturday signed a deal with Saudi Arabia aimed at addressing the kingdom’s defenses amid threats from terrorist groups and Iran. </p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 20px; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.4;" class="">
The package is expected to include U.S. missiles, bombs, armored personnel carriers, Littoral Combat Ships, terminal high altitude area defense missile systems and munitions.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 20px; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.4;" class="">
“That was a tremendous day,” Trump said of the deal, according to a pool report. “Hundreds of billions of dollars of investments into the United States and jobs, jobs, jobs.”</p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 20px; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.4;" class="">
Trump was visiting Saudi Arabia as part of his first foreign trip as president, which includes stops in Israel and the Vatican.</p>
