Key Congressman tells Politico he is open to selling F-16s to Turkey even if Erdogan wins reelection
Rep McCaul, the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, told Politico this week that he is generally open to selling F-16s to Turkey, even if President Erdogan is reelected on Sunday.
He is one of four Congressional leaders who must all green-light the sale for it to go through, and Senator Menendez and Rep Meeks, the other two key lawmakers, have broader conditions that include Ankara halting its belligerence toward Greece.
