Trump weighs massive F-35 deal with Saudi Arabia

The potential F-35 deal between the United States and Saudi Arabia has accelerated.

Trump primarily told reporters that Saudi Arabia wanted to buy a large number of F-35 stealth jets. This would be a multi-billion-dollar deal and a major shift in U.S. defence policy.

Concerning the recent development, he was reviewing the request and expected to have more discussions soon.

The possible agreement is expected at a White House meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman next week.

According to Trump the visit would include economic and defense deals and would be more of a commemoration than a formal agreement.

The security concerns have been arising about the F-35 deal within the US defense community.

The reports will further help to analyze final agreements and may discuss a broader US-Saudi defense agreement.

It has been observed that Saudi Arabia is working to advance access to American weapons and deeper military cooperation.

The Trump administration has not finalized the deal yet, and both countries rely on an established security cooperation.

Trump said that he would continue reviewing the F-35 deal as part of their relationship.

The deal is expected to be finalized during the upcoming visit by the Saudi Crown Prince, and cooperation would expand as both sides confer new agreements.
