US President Signals Potential Shift in Policy Amid NATO Summit
US President Donald Trump has indicated his support for allowing Turkey to rejoin the F-35 program, potentially reversing a policy from his first administration. Speaking alongside Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Trump said bringing Turkey back into the program is ‘something certainly we’d consider.’ The move could set the stage for a battle with Congress, which has previously expressed bipartisan opposition to giving Turkey the F-35 due to security concerns. The development was first reported by Breaking Defense.
