Trump should demand major concessions from Erdogan for the F-35 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On July 17, 2019, the United States kicked Turkey out of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program, five days after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan received the Russian-made S-400 air defense system it had purchased.
