U.S.: U.S., Saudi Arabia: Let’s make a (massive ongoing weapons) deal!
- $60
million the size of the weapons contract the U.S. plans to sign with the Saudi government - 20
years the length of said contract; the U.S. is signing it to help protect its security and economic interests source
- Will Congress object to the deal? If Congress has any issues with the deal (which includes upgrading older equipment, along with new F-15s and helicopters) they have 30 days to raise them. A senate panel has already been given the tip-off.
