The United States could move forward with a sale of F-35s to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, President Donald Trump indicated on November 17. The comments came as Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince, Mohammed bin Salman, was arriving in Washington for a meeting with the president.
The F-35s are only one part of a much larger series of deals and discussions that Riyadh is seeking in Washington.
Asked about the F-35s, Trump said, “I will say that we will be doing that. We’ll be selling F-35s,” according to reports. The F-35 is a symbol of being a close ally and partner of the United States. When it comes to Riyadh, this is important because Saudi Arabia has been a key US partner for around 80 years. However, many things have changed over the last decades.
