President Donald Trump‘s sharp pivot toward Saudi Arabia has teed up a windfall for American industrial companies and investment firms, but his tacit approval of the kingdom’s military exploits may yet cost the United States.

An arms deal with Saudi Arabia worth $110 billion marks a softening of the U.S. position on the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen‘s civil war, which is widely blamed for a high civilian death toll. Backing Saudi Arabia so stridently while tabling civil and human rights issues  requires the White House to invest political capital with no guarantee Riyadh will pay a dividend by prioritizing the fight against terror.

To the extent U.S. support prolongs Yemen’s war by emboldening the Saudis, the Al Qaeda and Islamic State branches that have exploited Yemen’s lawlessness could gain more ground.

Now, the Trump administration has unequivocally hitched the nation’s wagon to Saudi Arabia and its Sunni Muslim allies, Richard Haass, president of the Council on Foreign Relations, told CNBC’s “Squawk Box” on Monday.

That position is too one-sided unless Riyadh an absolute monarchy  changes its behavior, he said. While Shiite Muslim-ruled Iran remains a U.S. and Saudi rival, the White House should acknowledge it is a capable actor with a “real economy,” he said.

“I think we’ve got be careful about in some ways thinking too much of our Sunni partners and not taking Iran seriously enough,” he said. “In particular, I would be very wary of getting involved in Yemen, which has all the fixings of a Middle Eastern Vietnam.”

Amnesty International, which has recorded human rights violations by both sides, issued a blistering criticism of the arms deal.

“This deal has President Trump throwing gasoline on a house fire and locking the door on his way out,” wrote Eric Ferrero, Amnesty International USA communications director.

“There is damning evidence that war crimes have been committed by the Saudi-led coalition and continuing to arm Saudi Arabia fuels serious human rights violations that are causing overwhelming civilian suffering in Yemen.”

The conflict has also allowed al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula and, to a lesser extent, the Islamic State to carve out more territory in Yemen.

The White House said the arms deal will bolster “the Kingdom’s ability to contribute to counter terrorism operations across the region, reducing the burden on the U.S. military to conduct those operations.”

U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said speeches by Middle East leaders during Trump’s visit to Saudi Arabia this weekend suggest they are now committed to fighting terrorism.

“Is the bulk of the Islamic world unified with the United States in this effort? This should put that to rest totally,” he told CNBC’s “Squawk Box” on Monday.

But the International Crisis Group says fighting Islamic extremist groups in Yemen is a secondary concern at best for the Saudi-led coalition. Defeating the Houthis and restoring a Saudi-aligned government remains Riyadh’s focus.

“This prioritization, much to the U.S.’s frustration and embarrassment, has facilitated AQAP’s efforts to blend in with the anti-Huthi opposition, which has given it access to weapons and new sources of income,” the crisis-monitoring nonprofit said in a briefing, using another spelling for Houthis.

In some cases, Ansar al-Sharia an umbrella organization that includes several al-Qaeda groups has fought alongside Saudi-aligned forces against the Houthis, the group added.

Reversing gains by Islamist militant groups in Yemen requires ending the conflict, which in turn means securing a political settlement, according to the International Crisis Group. In the meantime, all parties must improve governance on the ground and coordinate with local authorities to use military tools judiciously, it says.

“These efforts will be imperiled if states interested in fighting AQAP and Yemen’s nascent Islamic State (IS) branch, such as the U.S., take military actions that ignore the local context and result in high civilian casualties,” the group said.
