"Merhaba asker": Trump arrived in Ankara, was greeted by Erdogan
American President Donald Trump arrived in Ankara on Tuesday for a two-day NATO summit. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan greeted him at the Esenboga Airport, highlighting the significance of his visit. After exchanging pleasantries, both leaders proceeded to the presidential complex where they will hold a private meeting and discuss U.S.-Turkish delegation talks. Key topics include regional and international issues, with potential historic agreements under discussion. According to The New York Times, citing four high-level U.S. administration officials, Trump plans to inform Erdogan of his willingness to allow Turkey to join the advanced stealth fighter jet program F-35. This move has already sparked strong reactions from allies, including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who opposes Turkey receiving F-35s or engines for its missiles and reportedly directly urged Trump to abandon this plan. Ahead of tomorrow’s main summit session, protocols are fully underway. Earlier on Tuesday, U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman General Daniel Caine visited Anitkabir, the mausoleum of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder of modern Turkey, where he laid a wreath and paid respects.

Izraelski premijer Benjamin Netanjahu, u intervjuu za Fox News, upozorava američkog predsjednika Donalda Trampa da ne odobrava prodaju turskoj vojsci naprednih borbenih aviona F-35, smatrajući da bi to poremetilo ravnotežu snaga na Bliskom istoku. Netanjahu Tursku naziva 'režimom zaraženim Muslimanskom braćom' i 'ekstremnim pokretom koji mrzi Ameriku', dodajući da bi Turskoj trebao biti odbijen pristup F-35 i njegovim motorima. Prošlog mjeseca Tramp je nagovijestio mogućnost prodaje motora F110 Turskoj, što bi pomoćilo razvoj turskog borbenog aviona KAAN. Netanjahu smatra da bi takva prodaja ozbiljno utjecala na regionalnu geopolitičku situaciju. U međuvremenu, Tramp je prebacio odgovornost za detaljan pregled prodaje na potpredsjednika Džej Di Vensa, dok je sam Tramp izrazio očekivanje rješenja. Prodaja F-35 Turskoj smatra se važnim političkim signalom pred NATO samitom, kao i gestom prema Erdoganu, koji je smaten važnim partnerom. Iako SAD je prethodno isključio Tursku iz F-35 programa zbog kupovine ruskog sistema S-400, američki ambasador u Turskoj je naveo da su odnosi Trampa i Erdogana omogućili najproduktivnije razgovore o ovoj temi u deceniji.
