Is Trump Planning to Reinstate Turkey into the F-35 Fighter Program
The New York Times reported that U.S. President Donald Trump intends to inform Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan of his plan to reintegrate Turkey into the F-35 fighter jet program during their meeting on the sidelines of the NATO summit in Ankara. This comes at a time when issues between the United States and Turkey are mounting, as Turkey was excluded from the program in 2019 after purchasing the Russian S-400 missile defense system, and the U.S. imposed sanctions on Turkey. Nevertheless, recent developments have seen a boost in relations, with the possibility of resuming defense cooperation within NATO, but approval from Congress remains a key condition to ensure Turkey's return.
