President Donald Trump said he will sell F-35 fighter jets to Saudi Arabia, announcing the move on the eve of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s first Washington visit in more than seven years. The trip is expected to bring a Saudi multibillion-dollar investment in U.S. AI infrastructure and new civil nuclear cooperation, even as officials weigh risks to Israel’s military edge and fears China could access F-35 technology. Trump is also pressing Riyadh and Israel to normalize ties, though Saudi conditions on a path to Palestinian statehood and other concerns suggest a deal isn’t imminent.
