WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump is leaning toward supporting the sale of U.S.-made F-35 fighter jets to Saudi Arabia, a senior White House official said on Monday.
Trump is to meet Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman at the White House on Tuesday. The official, speaking to Reuters on condition of anonymity, said Trump‘s support is likely and the president “wants to talk to the crown prince about it tomorrow, and then we’ll make a determination.”
