A senior, unnamed White House official said, the US was close to completing a series of deals to sell Saudi Arabia arms and related maintenance worth $100 billion 91.4 billion euros.
President Donald Trump begins an international tour next Friday, with the first stop in Saudi Arabia, followed by visits in Israel, the Vatican, Brussels for a NATO summit and Sicily for a Group of Seven summit.
“We are in the final stages of a series of deals,” the White House official said on Friday. The arms package could be worth more than $300 billion over a decade, the official said. The US has been the Saudi kingdom’s major arms supplier, delivering F-15 fighter jets, command and control systems worth tens of billions of dollars in recent years.
