Trump says he will lift sanctions on Turkey and consider F‑35 sales after meeting Erdogan
President Donald Trump announced plans to lift U.S. sanctions on Turkey and to consider selling F‑35 fighter jets to the country following a meeting with President Tayyip Erdogan at a NATO summit in Ankara.
President Donald Trump said he would lift U.S. sanctions on Turkey and consider selling F‑35 fighter jets to the country after meeting Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan on Tuesday at a NATO summit in Ankara. The sanctions, imposed in 2020 because Turkey purchased Russian S‑400 air‑defence systems or Russian defence missiles, bar the sale of certain military equipment to Turkey, according to the New York Post. Turkey was removed from the U.S. F‑35 fighter‑jet program, Al Arabiya reported. Trump hinted at potential plans to lift sanctions and reverse the ban on the sale of F‑35s to Turkey, Bluesky reported.
