Trump calls Turkiye 'a great ally' when asked about F-35 fighter jet sales

US President Donald Trump referred to Turkiye as 'a great ally' in response to a question regarding the potential sale of F-35 fighter jets to Ankara.

When asked by reporters about the possible sale of F-35 fighter jets to Turkiye, US President Donald Trump described the country as 'a great ally'. The remark comes amid tensions between Washington and Ankara over issues such as Turkey's acquisition of Russian S-400 missile systems. Trump's statement may signal an attempt to mend bilateral relations and pave the way for a deal on the advanced warplanes. However, no official decision on the F-35 deliveries has been made yet.
