Ankara: Trkiye is following up on the procurement process of F-35s, said President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Wednesday. "We told them (the US), 'We paid, yet you still haven't delivered the F-35s. That's it. Now we're following up'," he stated at a reception in the Turkish parliament.

According to Anadolu Agency, last Thursday, US President Donald Trump and Turkish President Erdogan had a meeting at the White House, with the F-35 issue among the agenda items. After the meeting, Trump remarked that the leaders "had a very good conversation having to do with the purchase of military equipment."
