US: F-16 for Turkey only after admission of Sweden and Finland to NATO

“When NATO accession protocols are ratified by Turkey, legislature may consider selling F-16 fighter jets,” Senators Jeanne Shaheen and Thom Tillis wrote in a letter signed by 25 members of the U.S. Parliament. A paper that makes the authorisation for a $20 million supply of aviation equipment to Turkey conditional on Ankara's decision on Sweden and Finland's accession to NATO has gone to president Joe Biden's desk.
