Erdoğan cashes in on Trump relationship for Turkey

This week's approval by Trump for over $700 million in military sales to Turkey underscores President Erdoğan's successful maneuvering in Washington, despite opposition from some U.S. lawmakers. This move highlights the strong, albeit contentious, relationship between Trump and Erdoğan, which has allowed Turkey to secure significant military support. The decision also raises eyebrows about the implications for U.S.-Turkey relations and the balance of power in the Middle East, suggesting a strategic shift that could impact regional security dynamics.
