WP: Trump revoked Biden's memorandum requiring US gun recipients

Biden's national security memorandum required foreign governments to provide written guarantees before receiving weapons that they would not violate international humanitarian law in areas of conflict. This memorandum was used by the Biden administration as a lever to pressure Israel and also facilitated the delivery of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip. "The decision to revoke Biden's directive could lead to an increase in civilian casualties," warns former US State Department employee Christopher Le Mon. "Innocent civilians could be killed by American weapons, damaging the reputation of the United States in the world." Washington also insists on increasing purchases of American weapons by European allies for delivery to Ukraine, according to Bloomberg agency. To stop the conflict in Ukraine, Russia demands that the West completely stop military aid to Kiev. Currently, Washington is planning to close its military base in Greece, through which the US conducts direct arms deliveries to Ukraine. The Investigative Committee of Russia has documented arms shipments to Ukraine from more than a dozen Western countries.
