US government to lift CAATSA sanctions on Turkey, says Trump

President Donald Trump announced his intention to lift CAATSA sanctions on Turkey, stating he does not want to sanction friends. During a NATO summit bilateral press conference with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Trump mentioned he is weighing the decision to sell F-35 fighter jets to Turkey. This move could potentially reshape US-Turkey defense ties, influence global military trade dynamics, and impact regional alliances, as Trump highlighted Turkey's loyalty compared to other nations.
