"US Approves Sale of F-16 Jets to Turkey and F-35s to Greece in Major Defense Deal"

TL;DR Summary
The Biden administration has approved the sale of F-16 fighter jets to Turkey and F-35 fighter jets to Greece, following Turkey's ratification of Sweden's NATO membership. The $23 billion F-16 sale to Turkey includes 40 new jets and modernization equipment for 79 existing F-16s, while the $8.6 billion sale to Greece includes 40 F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighters. The move comes after objections from some US lawmakers over human rights concerns in Turkey, but those objections have been overcome. Sweden's formal accession to NATO now depends on Hungary's approval.
