US State Department confirms $750 million military sale to Saudi

The US State Department confirms a $750 million military sale to Saudi Arabia as part of a huge deal sealed by President Donald Trump, says the Pentagon.   The Pentagon said on its website on Monday that the sale would include a "blanket order training program" for the Royal Saudi Air Force and other Saudi forces inside and outside the kingdom, Reuters reported.   The Defense Security Cooperation Agency, which implements foreign arms sales, notified US Congress of the sale on Friday, giving lawmakers 30 days to reconsider the sale, an unconventional measure.
