Former US President Donald Trump said he is considering a deal to sell F-35 stealth fighter jets, manufactured by Lockheed Martin, to Saudi Arabia. The announcement comes ahead of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s planned visit to the White House, where economic and defense agreements are expected to be discussed. Trump described the upcoming meeting as an occasion to 'honor' Saudi Arabia and expressed hope that Riyadh would eventually join the Abraham Accords. However, a Pentagon intelligence report has reportedly raised concerns that such a sale could risk sensitive technology being accessed by China. The potential deal is part of broader US-Saudi defense talks, with Riyadh seeking security guarantees and access to advanced weaponry. The two nations have long maintained a strategic partnership centered on oil and defense cooperation.
