Turkey Closer to Clearing Way for F-35s, Says Trump Ally Barrack

The article suggests that Turkey is making progress in resolving the issue of the Russian S-400 missile-defense system, which has been a source of tension with other NATO members and prevented Turkey from acquiring the American F-35 stealth jets. According to a key ally of former US President Donald Trump, Turkey is now closer to removing the S-400 system, which has been a significant point of contention. The presence of the Russian-made system has led to Turkey's exclusion from the F-35 program, as the US government has expressed concerns about the potential security risks it poses. The article does not provide details on the specific steps Turkey is taking or the timeline for the removal of the S-400 system. However, it suggests that progress is being made, which could pave the way for Turkey's eventual acquisition of the F-35 jets and improved relations with its NATO allies.
