The US president says he is 'lifting sanctions' on Turkey, but the pathway to closer defence ties is not clear-cut

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

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.

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.
