A potential defense deal between the United States and Saudi Arabia would expand joint military exercises and deepen cooperation between the two countries' defense companies, but could also impose restrictions on military-industrial ties between the kingdom and China, Reuters reported, citing sources.
On November 18, Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman al-Saud will visit Washington for the first time since 2018, where he will meet with US President Donald Trump.
As a diplomatic source in Riyadh told TASS earlier, the defense agreement should be one of the main topics of the negotiations.
