President JoeBiden's plan to sell F-16 fighter jets to Turkey draws Democratic opposition
Turkey was ousted from the United States's F-35 program in 2019 after it purchased a Russian missile defense system. The country has also been a thorn in Washington's side on matters pertaining to the Kurds in Syria, as well as whether Sweden and Finland should gain NATO membership. A request to Congress has not yet been made, but it is already facing some notable opposition.
Ankara aired out a litany of grievances with Sweden and Finland joining NATO, including their support for Kurdish groups. Turkey considers its domestic Kurdistan Workers' Party a terrorist organization and has bristled at Western support for other Kurdish groups across the region. Turkish officials recently warned the two countries they are running out of time to ratify their bids for NATO ahead of its May elections.
