Ankara: U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday announced that Washington would lift U.S. sanctions on Turkey that were imposed in 2020 over Ankara's purchase of Russian defense missiles, while expressing a willingness to sell the fellow NATO ally F-35 fighter jets.
The move would be a massive gesture from Trump to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan whom he considers a close ally and would remove a major long-standing irritant in bilateral ties.
