Asad Mirza
US President Donald Trump has said he is considering Saudi Arabia’s request to buy F-35 fighter jets, as intelligence officials warn China could gain access to the aircraft’s latest American technology. The sale has also raised Israeli concerns as it will bring the Saudi fighters closer to Israel.
