Saudi Arabia is discussing a defence deal with the Trump administration similar to a US-Qatar pact last month that pledged to regard any attack on the Gulf state as a threat to American "peace and security," Report informs via FT.
The kingdom hopes a deal can be sealed when its day-to-day leader Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman visits the White House next month, amid expectations it will be "robust" and include enhanced military and intelligence co-operation, people familiar with the matter said.
When asked about the potential defence pact, a senior Trump administration official said: "There are discussions about signing something when the crown prince comes, but the details are in flux."
