The Obama administration has signed an agreement with Saudi Arabia that Congress approved in 2010 to sell Boeing Co. F-15 fighters to the Gulf ally.
“Valued at $29.4 billion, this agreement includes production of 84 new aircraft and the modernization of 70 existing aircraft as well as munitions, spare parts, training, maintenance and logistics,” the White House’s principal deputy press secretary, Josh Earnest, said in an e-mailed statement. The jets “are among the most sophisticated and capable aircraft in the world,” he said.
