On July 7, 2026, U.S. Congressional efforts are intensifying to block Turkey's potential return to the F-35 fighter jet program. This push comes in response to recent statements by President Donald Trump, who indicated a willingness to facilitate the sale of F-35 aircraft to Turkey and lift sanctions under the Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA).
Eighteen members of Congress, with strong bipartisan support, have urged House leadership to prepare to exercise legislative powers to prevent any attempts by the Trump administration to proceed with this sale. These legislators, citing ongoing restrictions due to Turkey's acquisition of the Russian S-400 missile system, contend that such a move would signal a troubling message to U.S. allies in the Eastern Mediterranean. Their intervention follows a recent high-profile meeting between Trump and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, during which military cooperation was discussed.
The lawmakers are advocating for a Joint Resolution of Disapproval to formally oppose any sales of F-35s to Turkey. This initiative reflects growing concerns regarding Turkey's military alignments and its implications for U.S. foreign policy and regional stability.
