President Trump announced lifting sanctions on Turkey over Russian missile purchases. He also expressed willingness to sell F-35 fighter jets to the NATO ally. This move aims to mend bilateral ties which have faced long-standing irritants. Turkey's acquisition of Russian S-400 systems had previously led to sanctions. The U.S. also removed Turkey from the F-35 program after the purchase.

While in a bilateral meeting with Turkish President Erdogan, President Trump announced the U.S. will lift Turkey sanctions and that he is considering selling them F-35s.

The Trump administration plan to sell F-35s to Turkey has become an even greater disaster.

President Donald Trump is considering selling F-35 jets to Turkey despite a congressional ban put in place during his first term.

Trump said that his secretary of state and treasury secretary were working on the issue.
