Türkiye and Israel will not have a problem, U.S. President Donald Trump said Monday at a joint news conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Florida, APA reports, citing Daily Sabah.
“Netanyahu and (President Recep Tayyip) Erdoğan are not going to have a problem,” Trump told reporters when asked about the potential conflict between Israel and Türkiye.
“I know Erdoğan very well and as you all know, he’s a good friend of mine. I believe him and I respect him. So does Netanyahu,” Trump said, despite strained ties between Ankara and Tel Aviv.
“We’re not going to have a problem,” Trump said of Türkiye and Israel. “Nothing’s going to happen.”
When asked on the potential sale of F-35 fighter jets to Türkiye, a long-stalled business that often strained ties between Ankara and Washington, Trump also said they were “seriously thinking about it.”
Washington removed Türkiye from the development of the F-35, a top-of-the-line stealth plane, in 2019 after the NATO ally went ahead with purchases of missile defense from Russia.
