US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that Washington will lift sanctions imposed on Turkey over its purchase of the Russian air defence system and indicated that his administration is also considering allowing the sale of F-35 fighter jets to Ankara, marking a potential shift in US-Turkey defence ties.

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.
