The president’s administration announced the plan to Congress on Wednesday, and if finalized, the approval would allow the Gulf island to purchase 19 of the jets from Lockheed Martin Corp.
It would also allow for further improvements to other jets in Bahrain’s fleet. It was reported by Bloomberg last year the deal Obama blocked was worth $4billion.
Though Congress has opportunities to block the sale, it is unlikely it will act to do so, given the Republican majority’s strong support for the sale.
