Following the Turkish Parliament’s approval of Sweden’s NATO membership yesterday, the United States has taken action to sell F-16s and modernization kits to Turkey.
Reuters news agency claimed that US President Joe Biden’s administration sent a letter to Congress to approve a USD 20 billion sale of F-16 fighter jets and modernization kits to Turkey.
The Biden administration has not yet made an official statement on the issue.
US State Department Deputy Spokesperson Vedant Patel previously stated that the Biden administration supports the modernization of Turkey’s F-16 fighter jet fleet, but that they are aware that the US Congress plays a key role in this issue.
