Ahead of Meeting with Crown Prince, Trump Says U.S. Will Sell F-35 Jets to Saudi Arabia

HeadlineNov 18, 2025

President Trump is welcoming Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to the White House today. It’s the Saudi leader’s first trip to Washington since he ordered the 2018 killing and dismemberment of Jamal Khashoggi, a Saudi insider-turned-critic and Washington Post columnist. Ahead of the crown prince’s arrival, Trump on Monday said he would authorize the sale of advanced F-35 jet fighters to Saudi Arabia, saying, “They have been a great ally.” The announcement came as the Trump family business announced plans to partner with the Saudi-based real estate developer DarGlobal to build a luxury resort in the Maldives, financed using cryptocurrency.
