ELI5: Why do we send millions of dollars of aid to Saudi Arabia, one of the wealthiest countries in the world?

The US provides about $1.5 million in the form of International Military Education and Training (IMET), which is joint military training in order to advance our common interests in bilateral security operations. Basically it is training Saudi military officers to work with US military forces in the event that is required.

This is pays off in other ways such as the Saudis purchase things like $30 billion worth of F-15 fighter jets.
