Will Porter returns to FPF to discuss how Lockheed could cash in on the recent deal between Israel and the UAE. Trump administration officials have suggested that after the two countries normalize relations, the US could allow the UAE to buy F-35 fighter jets.

Trump has also said he would like to extend the Israel/UAE agreement to Saudi Arabia.
