Administrația Trump susține că Turcia încă nu îndeplinește criteriile necesare pentru a achiziționa avioanele de vânătoare F-35 din SUA

The Trump administration asserts that Turkey does not currently meet the criteria to purchase F-35 fighter jets from the U.S. Despite President Trump's inclination to support the sale, Turkey's right to acquire these advanced aircraft remains blocked due to its purchase of Russian S-400 defense systems. The U.S. State Department's letter indicates that Turkey has not fulfilled the necessary conditions, including resolving the S-400 issue. Additionally, concerns from Greece and Israel about Turkey obtaining F-35s persist, as Israel is the only Middle Eastern country currently operating these jets.
