Matthew Miller, US State Department Spokesperson referred to the possible sale of F-16 to Turkey and Sweden’s accession to NATO during a press briefing.
“I’m certainly not going to negotiate in public about these matters. I will say that we have made clear that we support the sale of F-16s to Türkiye. Secretary Blinken made that clear again in his call, as we have made clear for some time now. But as we’ve said, there are people on the Hill who have linked that sale to Sweden’s accession to NATO, and we need to see that accession as soon as possible”, Miller said.
