Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan hopes the incoming Biden administration will take “positive steps” regarding Turkey’s exclusion from the F-35 stealth fighter program.
“We don’t know what the Biden administration will say at this stage,” Erdogan told reporters in Istanbul on Friday. “Despite having paid a serious fee on the F-35s, the F-35s still have not been given to us. This is a serious wrong the United States did against us as a NATO ally.”
