US Senator Chris Van Hollen has condemned Trump’s decision to rescind a Biden-era order that required the US government to report potential violations of international law involving US-supplied weapons by allies, including Israel, Al Jazeera reports.
The statement came after The Washington Post and the Reuters news agency reported on the move.
The White House, however, is yet to publicly announce the decision.
Van Hollen, a Democrat, said Trump’s scrapping of National Security Memorandum-20 (NSM-20) was “shameful”.
“It’s a disservice to our national security, to global human rights, and to our standing around the world,” he said in a statement.
