U.S. President Donald Trump met with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Friday to kick off a NATO summit in Brussels, Belgium. During their meeting, they addressed two crucial topics: the sale of F-35 jets to Turkey and the status of the Russia-Ukraine war.

The F-35 program has been a contentious issue between the U.S. and Turkey since 2017, when President Erdogan criticized the aircraft's radar system as potentially harmful to national security and threatened to halt deliveries if changes were not made. The Pentagon responded by proposing $1 billion in upgrades that would improve the fighter's stealth capabilities.

Despite these efforts, tensions remain high over Turkey’s decision to purchase Russian-made S-400 air defense systems from Russia. This move has strained U.S.-Turkey relations and led to sanctions imposed on Turkish officials. However, during their meeting at the NATO summit, Trump seemed hopeful about a resolution.

Additionally, Erdogan expressed his support for Turkey's role in resolving the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. He emphasized that this country is
