Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) returned from a visit to Turkey over the weekend saying he will do everything in his power to close a sale of F-16 fighter jets to Ankara.
President Biden signalled his support for the weaponry sale to Turkey in a statement on Thursday, expressing optimism that Congress will pass this measure.
Biden had met with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan the day prior, but shut down the notion that the proposed deal was a “quid pro quo” for Turkey supporting Finland and Sweden’s applications to join the NATO military alliance.
In a Twitter thread on Sunday, Graham said he had a “productive trip” to the country.
“While we have had a problematic relationship at times, it is imperative Turkey and the US take steps to strengthen the ties between our two nations,” Graham wrote on Twitter.
“I will do all in my power to support the Biden Administration’s decision to sell F-16s to the Turkish Air Force,” Graham added in the thread.
“These fighter jets, in the hands of our NATO allies, will create a sense of stability and provide capability to the Turkish military that is most definitely in America’s national security interests.”

Because having Russia as an enemy supports the kind of MIC we want . Having China as the real enemy is a whole other thing. We don’t want that kind of an MIC.
Not just the best in SC, the best from all 50 states. He has many wet dreams about starting wars in foreign countries.
The father & son Biden’s made millions from China and Ukraine, not much if at all from Russia. Therefore China is off the enemy list and corrupt gov’t in Ukraine must be propped up with more borrowed money.
Them kickbacks ain’t gonna’ show up outta’ thin air.....
If that POS Graham is involved, I have concerns. He is unethical and will lie to your face to get what he wants regardless if it is good for the nation.
Graham is an idiot.This neocon warmonger should stay in Turkey.

Linda must have missed the fact that the religious fanatics now control Turkey.
