President Donald Trump was "p***** off" by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's public criticism of a proposed U.S. sale of F-35 fighter jets to Türkiye, a report said Thursday.
Speaking alongside President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan before last week's NATO summit, Trump said Washington would lift sanctions on Türkiye and signaled a willingness to sell the F-35 jets.
The move would be the biggest gesture yet from Trump to Erdoğan, whom he regularly praises and sees as a close ally. The two countries have enjoyed warmer ties since Trump returned to office last year. Erdoğan said he was confident Trump would resolve the issue and end the dispute.
Before Trump's departure for Ankara, Netanyahu criticized the president's intention to sell F-35 jets to Türkiye.
Trump was "p***** off" by the Israeli prime minister's remarks during a Fox News interview, the Axios news site reported Thursday, citing a White House official.
