Bloomberg: Trump is likely to approve the sale of F-35 fighters to Saudi Arabia
A US government official told Bloomberg that US President Donald Trump is expected to reach an agreement with Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman that would allow Riyadh to purchase F-35 fighter jets.
According to RCO News Agency, the official, who declined to be named because the details were not made public, said that Trump and bin Salman plan to sign several economic and defense agreements during his visit to the White House on Tuesday. According to this official, these agreements will also include contracts for the purchase of liquefied natural gas.
According to Bloomberg, if the sale of F-35 fighters is finalized, this action will be considered a big advantage for Saudi Arabia. Officials familiar with the negotiations say that Saudi Arabia has been looking for the purchase of these fighters for a long time. F-35 fighters are considered to be the most advanced fighters in the world and the price of each one is about 100 million dollars.
Trump intends to agree to this sale despite significant problems. One of these problems is that only the Zionist regime in the region has access to these fighters and wants to maintain this military superiority.
The US Department of Defense has also raised concerns that China, due to its defense relations with Riyadh, may obtain its advanced technology if it sells these fighters to Saudi Arabia.
The White House did not respond to media requests for comment.
