The Trump administration plans to proceed with the sale of GE jet engines for Turkey’s Kaan fighter jet, @DeItaone reported. The transaction is valued at more than $700 million and is expected to be finalized in the coming days. Completion is planned ahead of next month’s NATO summit in Turkey.
Congressional objections have not halted the transaction. Past tensions between Washington and Ankara centered on the F-35 program and Russian S-400 systems. The engine sale signals continued defense cooperation between the two NATO allies, @DeItaone reported.
