Trump rejects constraints on F-35 sales
U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed that the decision to sell F-35 fighter jets to Turkey is solely Washington's decision. He also rejected Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's objections to the deal. Trump stated that Turkey is a major ally of the United States and praised its strength and military. He explained that Ankara's visit to participate in the NATO summit was successful. These comments come after Israel's opposition to the sale, which has long been complicated due to Turkey's purchase of the Russian S-400 defense system. Washington believes that the sale could impact the balance of power in the region. Trump is currently considering lifting the ban on the deal, despite Tel Aviv's opposition. The issue of selling the F-35s to Turkey is one of the most tense military matters between the two countries.
