Trump, Saudi secure $600B investment deal to include billions in US defense weapons

https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5297426-trump-saudi-investment-deal/

President Trump on Tuesday secured a $600 billion commitment from Saudi Arabia to invest in the United States along with a multi-billion dollar defense partnership following a meeting with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in Riyadh.

The investment, according to a White House fact sheet, will strengthen energy security, defense, technology and access to global infrastructure and critical minerals. It includes a $142 billion defense and security deal that equips Saudi Arabia with state of the art war equipment provided by dozens of U.S. firms.

The equipment include air and missile defense and air force and space advancements.
