Turkey has long sought to solve the question of its readmission to the F-35 program and the lifting of US sanctions that have soured ties and achieved Turkish defense projects and has looked to Trump’s visit to break the deadlock. Sitting next to him, Erdogan said he was confidential Trump would solve the issue and end the dispute. “Mr Trump has also personally given us his word on this matter,” he said through a translator. “On this issue, Mr Trump always stands by his word.
Furthermore, Trump says US will lift sanctions on Türkiye, possible sell F-35 fighter jets. Section 1245 of the fiscal year 2020 National Defense Authorization Act bars the transfer of F-35 aircraft to Turkey unless the executive branch certificates that Ankara has met statistics requirements related to the Russian missile system. Turkey was removed from the international F-35 program in 2019 after taking delivery of the Russian-made S-400 air defense system, promoting Washington to argue that operating the Kremlin-build system alongside America's most advanced stealth fighter could expose sensitive U.S. technology.
In addition, Trump, on the other hand, highlighted the good relationship he has maintained with the Turkish leader, in power for almost 25 years and accused by the opposition of the country of ruling in an increasingly authoritarian way. However, Erdogan may attempt to capitalise on the good relations he has with the American counterpart to ensure the delivery of six F-35 fighters already paid by Ankara, according to the France-Presse news agency.
