WASHINGTON, Nov 14 (Reuters) -

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday that he is

considering agreeing to a deal to supply Saudi Arabia with F-35

stealth fighter jets, which are made by Lockheed Martin ( LMT ).

"They wanna buy a lot of jets," Trump told reporters

aboard Air Force One.

"I'm looking at that. They've asked me to look at it.

They want to buy a lot of '35' - but they want to buy actually

more than that, fighter jets."

The potential sale comes as Trump plans to host Saudi Crown

Prince Mohammed bin Salman at the White House next week, when

they are expected to sign economic and defense agreements.

Asked about the talks, Trump told reporters it was "more

than meeting, we're honoring" Saudi Arabia.

He repeated that he hoped Saudi would soon join the

Abraham Accords, which have normalized relations between Israel

and Muslim-majority nations. Riyadh has resisted such a step

absent agreement on a

roadmap to Palestinian statehood

.

A Pentagon intelligence report has raised concerns over

the potential F-35 deal, warning that China could acquire the

aircraft's technology if the sale proceeds, the New York Times

reported on Thursday, citing people familiar with the

assessment.
