US President Donald Trump has rebuffed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s call not to sell F-35 fighter jets to Türkiye.
Netanyahu has accused Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of destabilizing the Middle East, as Ankara has emerged as one of the most vocal critics of Israel’s military campaigns in Gaza and Lebanon.
Trump, who arrived in Türkiye for a NATO summit on Tuesday, said he would consider selling the long-sought fighter jets to the US ally.
“I have no concerns about anything. I mean, he’s a leader of a country that he’s made a much better country, a much better country, a much more powerful country,” Trump said, according to The Hill.
Netanyahu had earlier urged Washington not to grant Ankara access to its most advanced fighter aircraft.
