The United States is currently reviewing the possibility of selling F-35 fighter jets to Turkey, Vice President JD Vance announced Wednesday. This reconsideration comes despite Turkey’s 2019 purchase of Russian S-400 missile defense systems, a move that previously led to Turkey’s removal from the F-35 program. The review aims to determine if a sale can be structured in a way that complies with U.S. law, which prohibits such transactions given the S-400 acquisition. President Biden has directed his team to assess the necessary certifications required for potential compliance. Vance stated the review is focused on fulfilling legal requirements before any decision is made. The outcome of this review could significantly impact U.S.-Turkey relations and regional defense dynamics.
