✦ Summary · July 28, 2026 AI-written summary of the news — not a direct quote
President Trump, speaking to reporters, described Turkey as a significant ally and its leader, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, as a friend, highlighting Turkey's military strength and its role in regional issues like Syria. This comes amid discussions about the US potentially resuming sales of F-35 fighter jets to Turkey, a move that had been suspended in 2019 due to Turkey's acquisition of a Russian missile defense system. Trump's comments suggest a positive stance on the jet sales, despite Turkey's differing views on Israel and past disagreements over the defense systems.
