Agree

Yes, and ban all sales to countries with human rights violations

While Yang supports strong restrictions, he has not advocated for a total ban on all arms sales to countries with human rights violations. He tends to favor a case-by-case approach, balancing U.S. interests and values, so he would somewhat agree but not fully endorse a blanket ban.

Slightly agree

Yes, but I would prefer a ban on all military aid to any foreign countries

Yang has not called for a complete ban on all military aid to foreign countries, as he recognizes the importance of alliances and strategic partnerships. However, he would be sympathetic to reducing military aid, especially to countries with poor human rights records, so he would mildly agree but not strongly.

Disagree

No, this could prevent our allies from defending themselves against our mutual enemies

Yang has acknowledged the importance of alliances but has also emphasized that U.S. support should not come at the expense of American values, particularly regarding human rights. He would disagree with the idea that arms sales should be unrestricted simply to support allies, as seen in his criticism of U.S. policy toward Saudi Arabia.

Strongly disagree

No

Yang has repeatedly called for increased oversight and restrictions on arms sales to countries with human rights violations, making it very unlikely he would support unrestricted sales. His criticism of U.S. support for Saudi Arabia and other authoritarian regimes demonstrates his opposition to this stance.
