Trump considers selling F-35s to Turkey
U.S. President Donald Trump stated that he does not rule out the possibility of selling F-35 fighter jets to Turkey, despite Israeli opposition and in contrast to the positive stance on agreements that promote defense cooperation between Washington and Ankara. He explained that Turkey currently owns American aircraft and has the right to maintenance and upgrades, and that the U.S. administration has requested to sell F-110 engines worth $700 million, aiming to remove the obstacles imposed by the CAATSA sanctions following Ankara's purchase of the Russian S-400 missile defense system. It is expected that the ban on selling the F-35 to Turkey will be lifted after the sanctions are removed, which is considered a step toward strengthening defense cooperation between the two countries.
