Erdogan's Diplomatic Maneuvers: US, Canada, and Sweden's NATO Bid

TL;DR
Turkish President Erdogan stated that positive developments regarding the US sale of F-16 fighter jets to Turkey and Canada's arms embargo would help Turkey's parliament consider ratifying Sweden's NATO membership bid. Turkey had previously raised objections to Sweden and Finland's membership bids due to their alleged support for groups Ankara considers terrorists. Erdogan's comments suggest that progress on the F-16 sale and the lifting of the arms embargo could lead to a positive approach towards Sweden's NATO accession.
