The Senate bill would make F-35 delivery contingent on Trump “certifying that Turkey is not threatening NATO, purchasing defense equipment from Russia, or detaining U.S. citizens.”

Turkish Foreign Minister, Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu, had warned that “if the U.S. imposes sanctions on us or takes such a step, Turkey will absolutely retaliate. What needs to be done is the U.S. needs to let go of this”.
