Trump expected to tell Turkey he is ready to restore access to F-35 jets, NYT reports

President Trump is reportedly gearing up to inform Turkish President Erdogan that the U.S. is open to letting Turkey rejoin the F-35 stealth fighter program, according to the New York Times. This potential move could mend ties between the two nations, which have been strained due to Turkey's purchase of the Russian S-400 missile system, which the U.S. had previously barred Turkey from using alongside NATO equipment, including access to the F-35 program. The restoration of access to the F-35 jets signifies a significant shift in U.S. policy, potentially signaling a broader effort to stabilize and realign relationships in NATO.
