The United States is poised to offer Saudi Arabia an arms package worth well over $100 billion, six sources with direct knowledge of the issue told Reuters, saying the proposal was being lined up for announcement during U.

The president's trip aims to “strengthen ties” with these countries, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said.

Biden failed to finalise a defence pact with Saudi Arabia tied to Israel ties before Trump’s $100b arms deal offer.
