WASHINGTON, Sept. 13 (UPI) -- The White House may ask Congress to consider a $60 billion aircraft deal with Saudi Arabia, sometime this week, officials told The Wall Street Journal.
About half of the $60 billion would be included in a first round of contracts while Saudi Arabia contemplates its next move, officials said. Beyond that, officials are also discussing an additional $30 billion in deals to supply Saudi Arabia with upgrades for its navy, the Journal reported.
