With much fanfare, President Donald Trump announced this week that he and Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman had signed a new Strategic Defense Agreement that would include the sale of stealth F-35 fighters to that country, but very few details have emerged about the agreement and what impacts it might have for the Middle East.

President Trump said Tuesday evening that he has formally designated Saudi Arabia as a major non-NATO ally, aiming to deepen military cooperation between the two nations.
