US State Department spokesperson Morgan Ortagus said Wednesday that “incredible positive conversations” were already underway over providing the United Arab Emirates with elite F-35 fighter jets and other military hardware after the Gulf state’s deal to normalize relations with Israel.
“We know that there are more agreements to formalize between the
UAE and Israel, but you have taken the first step and I have no doubt
that the other steps will come into place, and that’s one of the reasons
why Secretary [Mike] Pompeo is here,” Ortagus told Emirates News
Agency, WAM, in an interview in Abu Dhabi, referring to Pompeo’s
Wednesday visit to the UAE.
