(AP) — In notices sent to Congress on Thursday, the State Department said the U.S. would sell:
To the United Arab Emirates, more than $8 billion in air defense systems and related materiel, including drones, air-to-air missiles and F-16 fighter jet munitions.
To Kuwait, $8 billion in missile defense and radar systems.
To Jordan, $70.5 million of aircraft and munitions support.
Another $6 billion in sales to the three countries was approved but did not require congressional notification because they involved adjustments to previously approved packages or purely commercial sales, a State Department official said. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the details of those sales are not public.
