RIYADH, May 20 (APP/AFP): Washington has agreed arms
deals with Saudi Arabia worth almost $110 billion, a White House official said Saturday, the first day of President Donald Trump’s visit to the traditional US ally.
“This package of defence equipment and services support the long-term
security of Saudi Arabia and the Gulf region in the face of Iranian threats,” the official said.
It will also bolster the kingdom’s “ability to contribute to
counter-terrorism operations across the region, reducing the burden on the US military to conduct those operations,” the official added.
