US to offer Saudi Arabia $100bn weapons deal as Trump visit planned: Report
Briefly

The United States is preparing to announce an arms package to Saudi Arabia exceeding $100 billion, with the disclosure timed for President Trump's visit to the Middle East next month. Major defense contractors, including Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and Northrop Grumman, are expected to supply a variety of advanced weaponry. Unlike the sought-after F-35 fighter jets, the deal likely includes C-130 transport planes and missiles. Trump's proposed pact contrasts with Biden's failed attempt to foster defense ties with Saudi Arabia, which included restrictions on Chinese investments.
The United States is poised to offer Saudi Arabia an arms package worth more than $100bn, involving top defense contractors like Lockheed Martin and Boeing.
Trump's visit next month may coincide with an announcement of a new arms deal, which could enhance security cooperation between the US and Saudi Arabia.
