The package includes tanks, combat ships, missile defense systems, radar and communications and cybersecurity technology. The announcement is expected tomorrow. Officials providing details were not authorised to speak publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity. Much of the package builds on commitments made before Trump took office.
Separately, the administration today informed Congress it will sell some USD 500 million in precision guided munitions to Saudi Arabia.
The State Department says the munitions will improve Saudi's targeting ability, particularly in Yemen where it has been criticised for civilian deaths in its fight against Iranian-backed rebels.
