Trump Weighs Possible F-35 Fighter Jet Sale to Saudi Arabia Saudi Arabia has long expressed interest in Lockheed Martin’s F-35 Lightning II, and now the Trump administration is evaluating a purchase request for as many as 48 jets. The offer aligns with a broader U.S.–Saudi defense package worth nearly $142 billion, underlining Washington’s deepening security ties with Riyadh. Critics warn the sale could undermine Washington’s longstanding commitment to preserving Israel’s “qualitative military edge.”
