Trump May Lift F-35 Ban On Turkey, Netanyahu Worried | NATO Summit | Firstpost Live | 4k

This video examines the potential restoration of Turkey's access to the F-35 stealth fighter program under President Donald Trump, which would reverse the 2019 decision that expelled Turkey after it purchased Russia's S-400 air defense system. The White House is working behind the scenes to find legal pathways to break the deadlock, though congressional restrictions prohibiting F-35 sales to Turkey while it possesses the S-400 remain in effect. The proposed move has drawn criticism from Israel, which opposes providing F-35s to Turkey due to regional security concerns and power balance considerations in the Middle East. This potential development would represent one of the most significant changes in US-Turkey defense relations in years and reshape strategic dynamics within NATO, especially as Trump has called on European members to increase defense spending and has expressed frustration over uneven security responsibility sharing.
