US, KSA ink $142bn arms deal

The US and Saudi Arabia signed a mammoth arms deal yesterday that the White House called the largest "in history" amid a raft of agreements inked by Trump and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in Riyadh.

"The US and Saudi Arabia signed the largest defence sales agreement in history -- nearly $142 billion, providing Saudi Arabia with state-of-the-art warfighting equipment," the White House said.
