Developments Regarding F-35s and Turkey
July 8, 2026
Donald Trump showed willingness to sell F-35s to Turkey and lift sanctions. However, the final decision depends on Congress, where there are ongoing reactions against this sale. Democratic Representative Dina Titus, leading a group of lawmakers, warns that Turkey's reinstatement in the F-35 program could lead to legal conflicts. Lawmakers are also calling for a resolution of disapproval unless there is a reliable legal basis for the decision. The situation remains tense, with Turkey occupying the American political scene.
