US and Saudi Arabia sign $142 billion weapons deal

The United States and Saudi Arabia signed a $142 billion arms deal on Tuesday, which the White House described as the largest defence sales agreement in history.

The US will provide Saudi Arabia with “state-of-the-art warfighting equipment and services” from over a dozen firms, the White House said.

The deal includes air force advancement and space capabilities, air and missile defence, maritime and border security, as well as information and communication systems upgrades, it added.

This deal is larger than one inked in 2017 during US President Donald Trump’s first visit to the kingdom, which was worth almost $110 billion.

Trump, who arrived earlier Tuesday in Riyadh, signed several agreements with Saudi Crown Prince Mohamed bin Salman on cooperation in the energy, defence, medical and space sectors.

The agreements include development and modernizing capabilities of Saudi armed forces, judicial cooperation and medical research, according to Saudi state television.
