Street Calls of the Week
Investing.com -- Saudi Arabia is in discussions with the United States regarding a potential defense agreement that could be finalized during Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s upcoming White House visit next month, according to a Financial Times report published Friday.
A senior Trump administration official told the Financial Times that "discussions about signing something when the crown prince comes" are underway, though "the details are in flux."
The potential agreement being discussed reportedly resembles the recent U.S.-Qatar defense pact, which committed the United States to treating any armed attack on Qatar as a threat to itself. That agreement was established after Israel attempted to kill Hamas leaders with an airstrike on Doha last month.
The Saudi crown prince’s planned White House visit would mark a significant diplomatic engagement between the two nations as they explore strengthening their security relationship.
