President Donald Trump is set to host Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan for a state visit at the White House next Thursday.
Trump announced Erdoğan’s forthcoming visit in a Truth Social post on Friday.
“We are working on many Trade and Military Deals with the President, including the large scale purchase of Boeing aircraft, a major F-16 Deal, and a continuation of the F-35 talks, which we expect to conclude positively,” Trump noted in the post.
“President Erdoğan and I have always had a very good relationship. I look forward to seeing him on the 25th!” he added.
In July, Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Jim Risch (R-ID) said a hold would remain on delivering six completed F-35 fighter jets from the United States to Turkey.
