U.S. President Donald Trump has stated that he is considering agreeing to a deal to supply Saudi Arabia with F-35 stealth fighter jets. The potential agreement would mark a significant development in defense cooperation between the two nations.
Officials noted that discussions are ongoing, with the proposal aimed at strengthening Saudi Arabia’s defense capabilities and expanding strategic ties in the region. The F-35, regarded as one of the most advanced fighter aircraft in the world, would enhance the kingdom’s air power and interoperability with allied forces.
President Trump emphasized that any decision would take into account regional security dynamics and U.S. national interests. He reiterated that the United States remains committed to supporting partners while ensuring stability in the Middle East.
The consideration of the deal has drawn international attention, with analysts highlighting its potential impact on defense balances and diplomatic relations in the region. Further details are expected as consultations progress between Washington and Riyadh.
