Trump expected to tell Turkey he is ready to restore access to F-35 jets

US President Donald Trump is expected to support the potential resumption of F-35 fighter jet sales to Turkey during his upcoming visit to Ankara, despite ongoing legal and congressional obstacles. This development comes amid improved relations between the US and Turkey since Trump's return to office, but tensions remain over Turkey's 2019 purchase of the Russian S-400 air defense system, which led to sanctions and exclusion from the F-35 program. US law currently prohibits Turkey from operating or possessing the S-400 if it seeks to rejoin the F-35 program. One proposed solution involves transferring the S-400 to a third country, though this remains unconfirmed. The White House and Turkish authorities have not yet commented on the potential move, while Trump hinted at making Turkey 'very happy' through this gesture.

Sources confirm Trump expected to support sale of F-35 jets to Turkey

US President Donald Trump is expected to support the sale of F-35 fighter jets to Turkey during his visit to Ankara, despite ongoing legal and congressional obstacles. This decision comes amid improved relations between the US and Turkey since Trump's return to office, but tensions remain over Turkey's 2019 purchase of the Russian S-400 air defense system. The US has previously sanctioned Turkey and barred it from the F-35 program due to security concerns. A proposed solution involves transferring the S-400 to a third country, though this remains unresolved. The New York Times first reported the potential sale, while the White House and Turkish authorities have not commented. Trump expressed willingness to please Turkey with a significant gesture.
