U.S. President Donald Trump said Turkey will receive F-35 fighter jets, according to a report Wednesday morning from the source. The statement, which the channel described as 'dramatic,' did not provide further details or context.
The Zioneer has previously reported on Trump's shifting positions regarding the sale of F-35s to Turkey. These include an earlier statement that he would not sell the jets, signals of support during his Ankara visit for the NATO summit, and subsequent reports of plans to restore Turkey's access to the program. Several of these reports have drawn criticism from pro-Israel commentators.
The latest statement comes from a single, unverified source. It has not been corroborated by official channels or major news outlets. Trump's exact words and the context of the remark remain unclear.
