Turkey, Russia close to reaching agreement on Su-35 fighter jet sale
Turkey has been at odds with the Trumo “Art of the Deal” policies and already has gone on to purchase Russia’s S-400 missile systems. The U.S. suspended Turkey, a fellow NATO member, from its F-35 stealth fighter program in reaction to Ankara’s purchase. Washington argued the S-400 would be incompatible with NATO systems and expose the F-35 to possible Russian subterfuge. Turkey, however, emphasized the S-400 would not be integrated into NATO systems and would not pose a threat to the alliance and refused to step back from the deal.
