US President Donald Trump announced that sanctions imposed on Türkiye under the Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA) would be lifted. These sanctions were initially introduced in 2020 following Türkiye’s acquisition of Russia’s S-400 air defense system, which also led to its removal from the F-35 fighter jet program.

President Trump confirmed that his administration is actively considering restoring Türkiye’s access to the F-35 program, though this proposal requires navigation through legal procedures and congressional approval. He also noted that expanding bilateral trade would be a key focus of his discussions with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.

President Erdoğan expressed confidence in a favorable outcome for Türkiye’s bid to rejoin the F-35 program and anticipated positive news regarding US support for engines powering Türkiye’s indigenous KAAN fighter jet project. Referring to Trump as his “dear friend,” Erdoğan highlighted the strengthened bilateral ties and the importance of the meeting. The leaders are also expected to discuss the Russia-Ukraine war, the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, and broader NATO security priorities.
