Trump urges Turkey to stop buying Russian oil as Erdogan chases deal on F-35s
US President Donald Trump has called on Turkey to halt its purchase of Russian oil, a move that could further strain relations between the two NATO allies. Trump’s statement comes as Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan seeks a deal to acquire F-35 fighter jets from the United States.
The Turkish government has been in talks with Russia to purchase oil, a move that has raised concerns in Washington. The US has been pushing Turkey to abandon its deal with Russia and opt for alternative sources of oil. Trump’s call to stop buying Russian oil adds to the existing tensions between the US and Turkey over a range of issues, including Turkey’s purchase of the Russian S-400 missile defense system.
In response to Trump’s statement, Erdogan has reiterated Turkey’s sovereign right to make decisions on its energy policies independently. Erdogan has also emphasized the importance of the ongoing negotiations for Turkey to acquire F-35 jets from the US. The Turkish President’s pursuit of the F-35 deal is seen as a key priority for Turkey’s military modernization efforts.
The situation highlights the complex dynamics at play between the US, Turkey, and Russia, as they navigate competing interests and alliances in the region. The outcome of the negotiations between Turkey and the US on the F-35 deal, as well as Turkey’s oil purchases, will have implications for the broader geopolitical landscape in the Middle East and beyond.
