Trump’s first administration kicked NATO ally Turkey out of its flagship F-35 fighter jet program after Ankara purchased an air defense system from Russia.

Turkey is NATO's second-largest operator of the F-16 but scaled back its acquisition in the hopes of acquiring the F-35 instead. The US has six F-35s already built for Turkey, but these airframes remain in storage due to the ongoing disagreement.

President Donald Trump said on Thursday he believes Turkey will agree to his request to stop purchasing Russian oil and that he may lift U.S. sanctions on Ankara so it can buy advanced American F-35 jets.
