Trump expected to restore F-35 access for Turkey at NATO summit

US officials are uncertain whether the upcoming NATO summit in Ankara will proceed smoothly, as President Donald Trump is expected to tell Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan that he will restore Turkey's access to F-35 fighter jets, despite pressure from Israel. The move would reverse a previous suspension of Turkey from the F-35 program. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is also coordinating with Erdogan and US staff ahead of the summit. Separately, French politician Chikli compared Erdogan to Hitler and Sinwar in a social media post, but this is not part of the main summit story.
