US will lift sanctions on Turkey, possibly sell F-35 fighter jets, Trump says
U.S. President Donald Trump announced the U.S. will lift sanctions on Turkey imposed in 2020 over Ankara’s purchase of Russian S-400 missiles and expressed openness to selling F-35 fighter jets to Turkey. The decision aims to ease tensions with Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan, despite a U.S. law prohibiting F-35 sales to Turkey while it retains the S-400 system.
