President Donald Trump praised Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan during their meeting in Ankara, highlighting the importance of the U.S.-Turkey relationship. However, Trump stopped short of confirming whether Washington would approve Turkey's long-awaited request to purchase U.S. F-35 stealth fighter jets.
The potential F-35 deal remains highly controversial, with many members of Congress opposing the sale following Turkey's acquisition of the Russian S-400 air defense system. As NATO allies seek closer cooperation amid rising global tensions, the future of U.S.-Turkey defense ties is once again in focus.
Will Trump move forward with the F-35 deal, or will congressional opposition keep the advanced fighter jets out of Turkey's hands?
