“Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell told us this week that the United States shouldn’t sell advanced American fighter jets to Turkey until Ankara ends its blockade of Sweden’s NATO accession,” Punchbowl News reports.
“Securing Sweden’s accession to NATO has been a top priority for the United States in the run-up to next week’s summit, seeing it as yet another symbol of strength for the West amid Russia’s war in Ukraine. But Turkey’s objections over unrelated matters are preventing Sweden’s formal admittance, which requires ratification from all NATO members.”
