MAKE ARMS SALES STEALTHY AGAIN: Trump says the U.S. will sell F-35 fighter jets to Saudi Arabia.

“I will say that we will be doing that, we’ll be selling F-35s, yeah,” the president said when he was asked by reporters in the Oval Office if the U.S. would be selling the fighter jets to the Saudis. Mr. Trump said the Saudis “want to buy” them, and they’ve “been a great ally.”

The president aims to lock in major business and national security deals with Saudi Arabia during the crown prince’s visit.

Mr. Trump and his son-in-law Jared Kushner have fostered close relationships with the Saudis and the crown prince in particular, viewing them as critical partners for both security and business in a turbulent Middle East.

For a so-called “failed” jet, everybody sure seems to want some.
