Trump to Restore Turkey’s Access to F-35 Jets

“President Trump is expected to tell President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey that he is prepared to restore the country to a program that would allow it to purchase F-35 stealth fighter jets, a move that would reverse a ban Mr. Trump himself imposed seven years ago on national security grounds,” the New York Times reports.

“But the shift by Mr. Trump, who is heading to a NATO summit in Ankara this week and has said he was preparing to bring a gift that would make Mr. Erdogan ‘very happy,’ could face opposition in Congress, which could seek to block it.”
