Trump signaled support for canceling the jet fighter deal after a group of senators introduced a bipartisan bill to delay delivery of the aircraft to Turkey.

The Trump administration has halted its sale of F-35 fighter jets to ally Turkey until the country agrees to cancel its purchase of an anti-aircraft missile system from Russia, according to reports.

President Donald Trump speaks with F-35 fighter plane pilot Lt Col Jason Curtis as he tours Luke Air Force Base, where he is for a “Make America Great” rally, in Phoenix, Arizona, on October 19, 2018. Nicholas Kamm/AFP/Getty Images In July 2018, on the sidelines of a NATO conference, Turkey’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu claimed that his country planned to buy the missile system from Russia because he could not obtain a similar system from Western allies.
