Despite opposition from the U.S. Congress, President Trump is moving forward with a deal to supply engines to Turkey for the country’s KAA fighter jet, according to Reuters. The agreement is reportedly valued at approximately $700 million. The decision to sidestep congressional objections underscores Trump’s preference for executive action in foreign arms deals and could further strain relations between the White House and Capitol Hill, particularly among lawmakers who have voiced concerns about Turkey’s strategic alignment and human rights record.
