Description

Description

The US government, under President Donald Trump, approved the sale of F-35 stealth fighter jets to Saudi Arabia ahead of Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman's visit to the US. This sale is significant as the US has only allowed the sale of F-35s to its closest allies. The approval comes despite concerns that China could gain access to the advanced warplane's technology if the sale proceeds. Saudi Arabia has been seeking these jets for a long time, and this move is part of broader defense and security arrangements between the US and Saudi Arabia.
