Overview

• The White House meeting is scheduled for Thursday, September 25, according to Trump's announcement on Truth Social.
• Trump said the agenda includes purchases of Boeing aircraft, a significant F-16 deal, and continued discussions on F-35 jets.
• He did not say whether efforts related to Russia’s war in Ukraine will be discussed, a sensitive point given Turkey’s ties to both Moscow and Kyiv.
• Bloomberg reported that Turkey is weighing orders worth several dozen billions of dollars, including 40 F-35s, 40 F-16 Vipers, and up to 250 commercial aircraft.
• Turkey was suspended from the F-35 program in 2019 over its S-400 purchase, and approved F-16 deliveries are not expected before 2026.
