Does the US force Saudi Arabia to have a huge defense budget (almost 87 bn $ in 2015) or it is a completely independent decision by the Saudis?
I was wondering if you could help me understand if the US forces Saudi Arabia to have a huge defense budget or if it is a completely independent decision by the Saudis?
The US does not force Saudi Arabia to have a huge defense budget. The Saudi government makes independent decisions regarding their national security needs.
