US warns on F-35 sale to Saudis
American sources have indicated that the United States might sell Saudi Arabia 48 F-35 fighter jets for $24 billion. However, there are concerns that China could leverage its relationship with the Kingdom to spy on sensitive technology associated with these aircraft. The close security cooperation between Saudi Arabia and China has raised significant worries about the protection of American military technology, especially as China assists Saudi Arabia in developing ballistic missiles and establishing production facilities—raising fears that these could be accessed by Chinese forces. It is worth noting that Congress may block the deal, but the Trump administration might be able to complete it quickly if circumstances demand, amid escalating regional tensions and the Houthi attacks on the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. Washington has refrained from launching offensive strikes against the Houthis despite Saudi requests for military assistance.
