U.S. Approves Potential Weapons Sales Worth Up to $5.75 Billion to Saudi Arabia
The U.S. State Department has approved two potential arms sales to Saudi Arabia, totaling up to an estimated $5.75 billion. The first involves the sale of Joint Direct Attack Munitions-Extend Range for approximately $5 billion, while a second deal includes AGT-1500 engines valued at around $750 million. The approvals come amid ongoing U.S.-Saudi defense cooperation and highlight continued military support to regional allies. These sales are subject to further negotiations with the involved companies before finalizing contracts. The move is expected to impact relevant sectors of the American defense industry, particularly those supplying advanced munitions and engine technology.
