US F-35 jet sale to Turkey sparks opposition, regional tensions
U.S. President Trump pledged the sale of F-35 fighter jets to Turkey, a move that has drawn strong opposition from Israel and Greece. U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth canceled a planned trip to Israel amid rising Iran tensions. The F-35 sale was a central point of Trump's visit to Ankara, where NATO leaders also met. Reports indicate that while Turkish President Erdoğan was pleased, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu was displeased with the potential sale.
