Marco Rubio told Greek newspaper Kathimerini that Trump wants Türkiye to receive the F-35 fighter jets it has already paid for, but U.S. law prohibits their transfer until the dispute over Ankara’s Russian-made S-400 air defense systems is resolved.

Rubio said Türkiye was aware of the legal restrictions and was exploring possible solutions, but stressed that the issue remains unresolved and the transfer is currently prohibited.
