  • $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.
