The package would include up to 220 Tomahawk cruise missiles and technical support, the Pentagon said.

The Pentagon’s Defense Security Cooperation Agency notified Congress of the possible sale on Thursday.

Despite approval by the State Department, the notification does not indicate that a contract has been signed or that negotiations have concluded.

The Pentagon said Raytheon (NYSE:RTN) was the prime contractor for the weapons.
