White House boasts massive defense contract with Saudi Arabia


White House boasted about a $142 billion arms sales contract with Saudi Arabia in a statement Tuesday, during a visit by Donald Trump, claiming it was the "largest in history."

This agreement, which is part of a larger set of investment promises amounting, according to the U.S. executive, to $600 billion, will allow the Saudi monarchy to acquire "cutting-edge military equipment from a dozen American defense companies," particularly in air defense, missiles, maritime security, and communication systems.
