The White House announced Saudi Arabia’s commitment to invest $600 billion in a series of deals with the United States.
Among the agreements secured is a nearly $142 billion defense sales deal providing the kingdom with “state-of-the-art warfighting equipment and services from over a dozen U.S. defense firms,” the White House said.
That commitment is nearly double Saudi Arabia’s 2025 defense budget, which totaled $78 billion. The White House’s announcement does not say when the defense deal is expected to conclude.
