Turkish Defense Minister Yashar Guler announced the signing of a contract with the United States for the supply of 40 F-16 fighter jets. This statement was made against the background of Donald Trump's victory in the US presidential election. Guler stressed that current relations with American partners are at a positive level, and no setbacks are expected. In addition, Turkey plans to purchase 40 Eurofighter Typhoon fighters. Germany had previously expressed resistance to the deal, but thanks to the support of NATO allies Britain, Italy and Spain Berlin gave a positive response to Ankara's request.  Guler also noted that with Trump's re-election, it is possible to consider the withdrawal of American troops from Syria, which may affect regional security and Turkey's strategic interests. These steps indicate Turkey's desire to modernize its air force and strengthen its defense capabilities in cooperation with international partners.
