🇹🇷 ANKARA — Turkey may buy Chinese jets; Washington never solved the S-400 problem. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Ankara's F-35 exclusion dates to 2019's S-400 purchase — Washington never reversed it. With China now supplying Iran MANPADS mid-conflict, Trump faces a bind: restore Turkey or watch a NATO member buy from Beijing. A yuan deal would be NATO's first Chinese defense transaction — fracturing alliance procurement coherence at the worst possible moment.
