Menendez insists on not selling F-16s to Turkey

US Senator and Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Robert Menendez, expressed, once again, his opposition to the sale of fighter aircrafts F-16s to Turkey.

The statement was made to Politico and journalist Andrew Desiderio who covers foreign policy issues.

According to what the journalist published on his Twitter account, Menendez told him that he is not going to change his position regarding his opposition to the sale of fighters to Turkey.

“Biden said at the NATO Summit that he supports the sale of F-16s to Turkey, but he can’t do anything without the approval of Menendez and Risch,” Desiderio commented in his post.
