#Türkiye submitted a letter of request in October 2021 to purchase 40 F-16 Block 70 fighter jets and 79 modernisation kits from the #US. The #Biden administration informally notified Congress of the sale last January, and a tiered review process was initiated to start negotiations with Congress. Key lawmakers in Congress have tied the F-16 sale to Türkiye's approval of #Sweden's #NATO accession bid. Biden urges the US Congress to approve the F-16 sale to Türkiye without delay.
