US Approves $23 Billion F-16 Sale to Turkey Following Sweden's NATO Ratification

Deal Includes 40 New Jets and Upgrades for Existing Fleet; Greece to Receive 40 Advanced F-35s

The US has approved a $23 billion deal to sell F-16 fighter jets to Turkey, following Turkey's ratification of Sweden's NATO membership.
The deal includes 40 new F-16s and upgrades for 79 existing models in Turkey's air force.
Greece, another NATO member, will also receive 40 advanced F-35 fighter jets worth $8.6 billion as part of the deal.
Hungary is now the only NATO member that has not approved Sweden’s application to join NATO.
The US Congress has 15 days to review the deal but it is not expected to oppose it.
