Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said he had proposed to U.S. President Donald Trump that Turkey buy U.S. Patriot defense systems at terms similar to Turkey’s deal for the S-400 systems.
“We cannot say the F-35 issue is fully resolved yet, but I made my proposal to them,” Reuters cited the Turkish leader as saying.
“I said to Mr Trump, ‘We can buy Patriots from you alongside the S-400s,’ and he said, ‘If you’re serious, let’s work on this.’ I made a serious offer,” Erdogan said.
