US and Qatar seal $12bn deal for F-15 fighter jets

[Mosby]

Washington and Doha have signed an agreement for the purchase of F-15 fighter jets, with an initial cost of $12 billion, as US President Donald Trump's administration attempts to navigate an ongoing diplomatic crisis in the Gulf.

The $12 billion agreement was completed by Qatari Minister of Defence Khalid Al Attiyah and his US counterpart, Jim Mattis, in Washington on Wednesday, according to Qatar News Agency (QNA).

Al Attiyah said the agreement underscores the "longstanding commitment of the State of Qatar in jointly working with our friends and allies in the United States in advancing our military cooperation for closer strategic collaboration in our fight to counter violent extremism and promote peace and stability in our region and beyond."

2. HaHa, 1 billion more than the fake deal signed with Saudi Arabia on the big trip.

So maybe this is a fake deal also?
