Erdogan signaled last week in public remarks that he could buy the Russian fighter jets, but people familiar with the discussions said the Turkish leader may back off if Trump lifts the F-35 ban.
On Monday in a letter a bipartisan group of congressmen, led by House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Eliot Engel, D-N.Y, sent a letter to Trump calling on him to cancel his meeting with Erdogan because of the Turkish leader’s"disastrous" actions in Syria and purchase of the S-400. While the Syria agreement was the main headline out of the Sochi meeting, Erdogan and Putin also advanced talks about Turkey purchasing the Russian fighter jets.Trump announced a month ago that he had invited Erdogan to Washington for a meeting on Nov. 13. But it was unclear until last week that the meeting would ultimately go forward. Turkish and U.S. officials said for days it was in flux, even though it remained on Trump's calendar.
Trump's decision, which was followed by an order that has since been altered to withdraw all U.S. troops from Syria, set off a bipartisan firestorm and was widely criticized by his supporters and opponents.
If this story is true, our nation is in a situation militarily that we do not need to be in at time and International military era when we need a strong Defense bond with our allies, including Nato and Turkey. To pull out of Syria could have been a grave mistake to America!
The United States has become a state sponsor of terrorism under the Trump administration. Democracy is dead in America. The House of Representatives and Congress have become useless under Donald Trump How can the American people accept a corrupt president like Trump?
Our technology isnt for sale bud
MSNBC let him. do u think he's NOT lettting russia tear our jets/weapons apart for intel?
Do it!!
Erdogan is a thug just like Trump and Putin.
President Erdogan and Putin sure know how to position themselves for any negotiations with the US. Especially since now both leaders own Trump somehow or someway. And we have no clue how Trump will respond or react. Will he seek advice? Probably not.
MSNBC President Erdogan beating Trump at his own game!
MSNBC Here comes the tit for tat. Thanks for the bribery, Trump. This. This, right here is why we are impeaching you.
Ok easier to shoot down

Falling right into Putin's hands
Trumps boys for sure. Something to do with Trump Towers, I got this right.

Erdogan is Evil and Turkey must be PURGED from NATO.
Good for him! For once , someone is standing tall facing the USA , NOT BOWING! God bless Turkey RTErdogan
MSNBC Never ends..
Gonna get jet somewhere dam it even if we're nato allies maybe we shouldn't have to be a nato allies anymore huh
Erdogan also continues to threaten EU about releasing ISIS members into Europe. That’s why he is famously known around the world as a THUG.
Well...quid pro quo going the other way now, realDonaldTrump
lol. they'll fall out of the sky anyway. go ahead. your money, not ours.
NBCPolitics aaaannnnnddd.....Art of the Deal Trump blinked. Again.
Oh ok. Let's sell them then
Please buy Russian jets, they're only good for maybe one flight! 😁
Fuck him and him
Turkey is free to do whatever the want. It’s not that big of a deal for the United States. How other NATO members view this is probably more important. If Turkey wants to choose sides at least everyone will know exactly where they stand🌞
Of COURSE he is! Spoiler alert: these are the bad guys.
.... to be noticed. Anything besides taking care of their citizens well being. It just seems like a game of WhoCanBeTheBiggestAsshole w/a bonus for who can rack up the most WarCrimes
Seriously NATO, why is Turkey still part of the group? Erdogan is a murderous savage who buys weapons from our enemy and slaughters our allies.
😳😡😠
2nd rate planes for a third rate country
Trump passed between Authoritarian Putin and Erdogan like a cheap doll to be used and abused! Trump is the weakest and stupidest leader of any nation in the history of the world and it is destroying America’s standing in the world.
Trump is selling the United States down the river and his supporters are so full of hate they don't care.
Please don't leave the master of the art of the bad deal alone with Erdogan. America has given enough to Turkey and Russia.
TrumpKillsKurds
Trump won’t care as long as TrumpIstanbul is protected and profitable.
They are laughing at Trump
Trump has given the middle east over to his 2 favorite Dictators TRUMP IS AMERICA'S BIGGEST THREAT
Turkey is NO ally of NATO or the USA!
'people familiar with the discussions' = fakenews
Maybe he wants to have a military parade
Putin always wins. Especially now that he has a puppet in the White House!
