Trump says Turkey could get F‑35 fighter jets. But US law, Congress, and Russia’s S‑400 system all stand in the way. So is this a real deal, or just political signaling?
Under US law, selling F‑35s to Turkey is highly restricted as long as it operates Russia’s S‑400 system, which triggered sanctions in 2020.Congress can also block any arms deal, and lawmakers from both parties have raised concerns about Turkey for years. That’s why this isn’t just about fighter jets. It’s about NATO, regional power, and US politics.
