President Donald Trump has announced approval for the sale of advanced stealth fighter jets to Saudi Arabia, coinciding with the visit of Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman to the United States. This move would make Saudi Arabia the first Middle Eastern country outside of Israel to access these jets, potentially shifting the region's military balance. The deal is part of broader discussions on US-Saudi relations and cooperation with Israel, which has requested that any sale be conditioned on Saudi normalization of ties with Israel. However, analysts caution that the agreement may face hurdles, including possible congressional review, and may not lead to an immediate transfer of jets. The Trump family's business interests in Saudi Arabia have also drawn attention amid the announcement.
