WASHINGTON (AA) - The US “strongly values” its partnership with NATO ally Türkiye, State Department Deputy Spokesperson Vedant Patel said Thursday.
Patel told reporters at a news conference that the US and Türkiye “have a long-standing and deep bilateral defense ties.”
Regarding the potential sale of F-16 fighter jets to Türkiye, Patel cited US President Biden’s remarks last June when he said Washington “should sell” F-16s to Türkiye.
“However, when it comes to specific arms transfers, we declined to comment until there's a formal notification process with Congress,” he added.
