America plans to sell $100 billion worth of weapons to Saudi Arabia, and the conditions might be that Saudi Arabia stops purchasing weapons from our country and restricts investments from our country into Saudi Arabia.
In the Biden era, America has demanded large-scale exports of weapons to Saudi Arabia. However, the conditions were that Saudi Arabia stop purchasing weapons from our country and restrict investments from our country into Saudi Arabia. This time, Trump's side will likely make similar demands.
Just in 2021, Biden ordered a halt on providing weapons to Saudi Arabia and ending the Yemeni Houthi War, which caused numerous civilian casualties. This time, Trump is once again demanding the provision of weapons to Saudi Arabia.
It was reported that Raytheon, Boeing, Northrop Grumman Corporation, and General Atomics will participate in this super military order. It will include missiles, air defense systems, radars, C-130 transport aircraft, as well as General Atomics' MQ-9B Sea Guardian reconnaissance drones worth $20 billion.
America also requires Norway to order constellation frigates and Vietnam to purchase F-16V fighter jets, etc. Clearly, Americans aim to increase arms exports to achieve so-called trade balance.
In fact, in 2017, Trump had a $110 billion arms cooperation intention with Saudi Arabia. However, after Biden took office, it was not implemented.
At that time, the main contents included $13.5 billion for 7 THAAD systems, $5.8 billion for 3 KC-130J tankers and 20 C-130 transport aircraft, $6 billion for littoral combat ships, $2 billion for 4 tactical air surveillance aircraft, $18 billion for purchasing C4I systems... and a 10-year maintenance project, etc.
