IF not alrady a done deal then Trump will sign the deal, Turkey will get its F16s
The same man who stopped the shipment of their first F-35 at point of delivery, kicked them out of the entire programme and applied sanctions to them? The first time one NATO member has ever sanctioned another?

Turkey have been trying to rectify the situation, but oh look here comes the orange blob again... prepare for chaos.

Turkey signed the new build F-16 deal with the US last June.

Thanks, It was always extremely unlikely that they would be refused, even more unlikely that they would get Typhoons instead

The Typhoon deal I believe is separate from F-16 deal signed last year. The F-16 deal came about after being denied the F-35, the Typhoon requirement has came about to try and keep pace with Greece after they obtained Rafale.

You’ve left out Turkey’s procurement of S-400.

It was a reluctant decision based on Nato doctrine and of course the S400 sale (he even tried blaming Obama for having to do it) rump is not a principled person he will sell em the F16s
