What happened
President Donald Trump said at the NATO summit in Ankara that the U.S. will lift 2020 sanctions on Turkey over its purchase of Russia’s S-400 missile defense system and will consider restoring Ankara’s access to F-35 fighter jets. The shift would reverse a first-term Trump policy that removed Turkey from the F-35 program after Ankara acquired the Russian system. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu opposed any F-35 sale, warning it could threaten Israel and alter the regional balance, while the sale still faces political hurdles.
