Trump indicated that a decision is being considered,highlighting Turkey\u2019s perceived loyalty compared to other allied countries. Despite a congressional ban on such sales due to Turkey\u2019s purchase of Russian S-400 missile systems, Trump did not comment on the ban or how it might be bypassed. Erdogan claimed that Trump had already promised the jets, expressing hope that the promise would be fulfilled. The move faced resistance from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who opposed supplying the jets to Turkey, citing regional tensions.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"4\">Donald Trump<\/a> claimed he was weighing selling F-35 fighter jets to <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/turkey\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"234\">Turkey<\/a> during a bilateral press conference with President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/recep-tayyip-erdogan\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"235\">Recep Tayyip Erdogan<\/a> on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s a decision we are going to make,\u201d Trump said during the first full day of the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/nato\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"603\">NATO <\/a>summit. \u201cTurkey has been, in many ways, much more loyal than other countries that we think would be loyal.\u201d<\/p>\n<section class=\"explore-more-section\" id=\"wex-recommended-widget\">\n<div class=\"magazine-container single\">\n<h1 class=\"magazine-title mt-2\">Recommended Stories<\/h1>\n<p>             <i class=\"fa-solid fa-play icon\"><\/i>         <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-grid\">\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4637734\/vance-economic-vision-collides-one-of-washington-powerful-free-market-groups\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Vance\u2019s economic vision collides with one of Washington\u2019s most powerful free-market groups<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4637064\/trump-nato-summit-defense-spending-penalties\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Trump heads to NATO summit weighing penalties on allies not meeting defense spending dues<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4637366\/child-dozes-off-resolute-desk-oval-office-trump-speech\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Resolute rest: Child dozes off against famous desk during Trump\u2019s accounts speech<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump also said that it was \u201csomething certainly we consider.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"wex-inarticle-ad wex-inarticle-ad-art-dsk-inart-1\">\n<div class=\"wex-ad-wrap wex-ad-art-dsk-inart-1\" style=\"min-height:90px\"><span class=\"wex-ad-label\" hidden>Advertisement<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-3182201-15\" data-wex-ad=\"art-dsk-inart-1\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The president\u2019s comments come despite a congressional ban on selling F-35 jets to Turkey due to Ankara\u2019s acceptance of the Russian S-400 air and <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >missile defense system<\/a>.
