Considering sale of state-of-the-art fighter F35 to President Trump UAE August 13, 13:22
US President Trump has revealed that he is considering selling the state-of-the-art stealth fighter F35 to UAE, the United Arab Emirates that has agreed to normalize diplomatic relations with Israel.
US President Trump told a state-of-the-art press conference in the White House yesterday about the state-of-the-art stealth fighter, the F35: "UAE wants to buy a lot of F35s. Let's see what happens. That's it."
The UAE just agreed last week with Israel, which has historically been hostile, to normalize diplomatic relations under the intervention of the United States.
Regarding the F35, UAE has been interested in purchasing for a long time, and it has been observed that the U.S. may have considered the sale in order to conclude an agreement to normalize diplomatic relations with Israel.
However, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu denied in a statement that the deal included the sale of the F35, saying that "the United States has always tried to maintain Israel's dominance" and the sale is in the Middle East. I oppose that the military superiority of Israel, which is only deploying the F35 in action, is threatened.
Israel and the UAE have just reached a historic agreement, but talks to establish diplomatic relations are expected to continue, and issues regarding the sale of the F35 may affect the whereabouts of the talks.
