The Biden administration has approved more than $5 billion in arms deals that would send missile interceptors to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
The announcement comes weeks after President Joe Biden’s high-profile visit to Saudi Arabia, where he met with Gulf leaders.
“This proposed sale will support the foreign policy goals and national security objectives of the United States by improving the security of a partner country that is a force for political stability and economic progress in the Gulf region,” the Defense Security Cooperation Agency, the Pentagon arm that oversees foreign arms sales, said in a statement about the Saudi deal.
