U.S. Ambassador Expects Quick Sale of F-16 Fighters to Turkey Following Sweden's NATO Membership Approval

The U.S. ambassador to Ankara stated that he expects Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan to grant final approval for Sweden's NATO membership within days, which will lead to swift steps toward Congress's approval for the sale of F-16 fighter jets to Ankara. In an exclusive interview on Thursday, Ambassador Jeff Flake said that once the official certification document is received in Washington, the U.S. State Department will immediately notify Congress regarding the sale of F-16 fighters.
