Trump arranges a meeting with Erdogan at the White House for critical discussions on military matters and trade relations
The upcoming meet between U.S. President Donald Trump and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on September 25 is set to focus on more than just military and commercial agreements. The F-35 negotiation skills are a key topic in the zoom meeting, signaling a potential breakthrough in U.S.-Turkey relations, suggesting broader improvements.
The potential return of Turkey to the F-35 program, which was halted due to Turkey's acquisition of Russian S-400 missile defense systems, is a notable shift in bilateral defense cooperation. This return could be a significant step in improving U.S.-Turkey relations and easing tensions that have lingered since the exclusion from the F-35 program.
The F-35 negotiation skills are not isolated incidents. They are part of broader agreements including large aircraft and F-16 purchases, and resolving the long-standing F-35 dispute could restore closer military and trade cooperation between the two NATO allies. The relationship between the United States and Turkey is expected to improve significantly through these negotiation skills.
The meet between Trump and Erdogan is a testament to the personal diplomatic relationship between the two leaders. Beyond defense cooperation, the talks may address Turkey's evolving defense partnership arrangements and its strategic position as a NATO member bridging Europe and Asia.
Meanwhile, regional security challenges are not being overlooked. The September 25 meet is significant in the context of ongoing regional security challenges.
Elsewhere, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan are discussing a mutual defense pact, potentially including nuclear deterrence. In the Middle East, Israel and Syria are expected to sign security and military agreements by the end of the year.
