The first day of talks in the DISEC Committee ended, thursday night, with several misunderstandings that will surely reframe the tone of conversation when the nations rejoin for debate on Friday.

The Saudi-led coalition that bombed Yemeni territory was accused of utilizing American-made weaponry, specifically cluster munition. After hours of extensive denial by the USA representative, Mr. President Donald J. Trump one-sidedly thanked Saudi allies for testing new American weaponry in combat, clearly undermining his delegate’s trustworthiness towards the Committee. The release was made via President’s official communication channel — his Twitter account.

It is the second time DISEC’s meeting gets overwhelmed by news of cluster munition usage. Brazilian recent Amazon bombing was faced with extreme bad repercution throughout the conversations, which will surely be USA’s fate in the sessions to come. The cluster weapon utilization during the Committee meetings, what’s more by countries who are taking part in the debate, demonstrate how carelessly the topic is conducted by this States.
