Trump Greenlights F-35 Sales to Saudi Arabia

In a significant move, President Donald Trump revealed on Tuesday that the United States will facilitate the sale of F-35 stealth fighter jets to Saudi Arabia. This arrangement mirrors a similar agreement previously made with Israel.

Trump asserted that both Saudi Arabia and Israel, whom he referred to as key allies, should have access to high-end military technology like the F-35s. This decision highlights the Trump administration's commitment to strengthening ties with Middle Eastern partners through military support.

The decision has sparked discussions on the strategic implications of such sales, given the regional dynamics and existing U.S. foreign policy commitments.
