Trump Rejects Netanyahu's Objections to Potential F-35 Sale to Turkey
US President Donald Trump has dismissed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's objections to a possible sale of American F-35 fighter jets to Turkey. Speaking aboard Air Force One en route to Michigan, Trump stated, 'Nobody tells me who we should sell what to,' and praised Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan as a friend and important ally who has done good work, particularly regarding Syria. Netanyahu, who was scheduled to meet Trump at the White House on Tuesday, had earlier voiced strong opposition to the sale, arguing it would disrupt the Middle East's balance of power, which Israel and the US military currently guarantee. The meeting is expected to focus primarily on Iran, with Netanyahu denying he will present new intelligence on Iran's nuclear program. Trump acknowledged minor differences with Netanyahu on the war against Iran but said they remain close overall.
