US Reconsiders Stealth Fighter Deal With NATO Ally
US President Donald Trump has expressed willingness to lift sanctions on Turkey and consider selling the country F-35 fighter jets, a move that could bring Ankara closer to regaining access to the stealth fighter program. The decision hinges on Turkey’s possession of the Russian-made S-400 air defense system, which the US views as a security risk. Trump’s comments, made during a NATO summit in Ankara, mark a significant shift in the US stance on the issue. The development was first reported by AeroTime.
