ANKARA, July 7, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - US President Donald Trump said Tuesday that Washington would consider selling F-35s fighter jets to Turkey after booting it out of the programme in 2019 over Ankara's purchase of a Russian system.

"That's a decision we're going to make... it's a great plane, the best plane by far and it's certainly something we will consider," Trump said sitting next to Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan after landing in Ankara for a NATO summit.
