The US doesn't import much from Saudi Arabia. It is mainly for East Asia and Europe. Even tiny, little Belgium imports as much oil and gas from Saudi Arabia as the US does.
And the Yemen conflict is nearing a negotiated end. Soon you can stop worrying about Belgian economic support for Saudi war crimes.
- coliveira 3y agoIt seems that Russia is also close to a negotiated end, so US can stop worrying about it.

- trynumber9 3y agoNot even close. There are no negotiations underway for peace in the east. Between Russia and Ukraine about 3000 soldiers are estimated killed in the last week alone. Meanwhile in Yemen the UN says fighting has subsided[0] and Iran and Saudi Arabia have begun rehabilitation of relations[1]. Comparing a frozen conflict in its negotiated end stages to an active war with thousands of casualties a week and hundreds of missile strikes on cities each month screams complete ignorance of the war you pretend to care about.

- coliveira 3y agoI thought Russia was on its last legs! The media tells me so since last year.
- trynumber9 3y agoSo you don't care about Yemen, it was only a red herring. Well whatever your reason for raising the argument, it hasn't influenced western European governments like Belgium to prefer Russian gas over any other sources.
