“The Best Plane By Far”: Trump Eyes F-35 Sales To Turkey 7 Years After Kicking It Out

US President Donald Trump has said his administration will lift sanctions on Turkey and make a decision on whether it will sell the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II to the country. Turkey was one of nine partner nations in the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) program and had planned to buy at least 100 F-35As. It was then removed from the program in 2019 after taking delivery of Russian-made S-400 air defense systems.
