A group of 27 bipartisan US senators has called on President Biden to postpone the sale of F-16 jets to Turkey until Turkey approves the NATO bids of Sweden and Finland
The letter sent on February 2, reflects the senators' opposition to the sale and was signed by senators on the Armed Services and Foreign Relations Committees. As Sweden and Finland await Turkey's approval for NATO admission, the letter arrives amid the Biden administration's recent announcement of a potential $20 billion sale of F-16 jets to Turkey.
