摘要

The Pentagon is seeking $331 million in refueling charges from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates after U.S. Central Command found "errors in accounting." CENTCOM has now "calculated the correct charges, and Department of Defense is in the process of seeking reimbursements," Pentagon spokeswoman Cmdr. Rebecca Rebarich said in an email. The cost of the fuel in question is $36.8 million, while the cost of the flights hours is $294 million.
