"Biden Urges Swift Approval of F-16 Sale to Turkey by US Congress"
President Biden urges US Congress to approve the sale of F-16 aircraft to Turkey "without delay" after Ankara completes Sweden's NATO accession process, following a letter sent by the White House to members of Congress urging approval of the $20 billion sale. Turkey's delay in approving the ratification had been a major obstacle to winning congressional approval for the fighter jet deal, with lawmakers awaiting Turkey's approval of Sweden's NATO membership. However, Senator Chris Van Hollen expressed doubts about a speedy approval, citing concerns about Turkey's actions.
