Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman has expressed plans to acquire F-35 fighter jets from the United States during a November visit, according to unverified reports. The kingdom seeks to obtain advanced American military technology for its air force, with officials aiming to secure access to critical systems that could support its nuclear program development.
The U.S. has yet to reintegrate Turkey into the F-35 program, as highlighted by recent diplomatic efforts failing to meet expectations. Meanwhile, Switzerland is reportedly reconsidering its purchase of American F-35 jets due to trade disputes under former President Donald Trump’s policies, with potential contract modifications under discussion for future European collaborations.
