Press Release: Pappas Leads Bipartisan Opposition to Fighter Jet Sale to Turkey, Citing National Security Concerns

None

Congressman Pappas leads bipartisan opposition to the proposed sale of fighter jets to Turkey, citing national security concerns.

Quiver AI Summary

Congressman Chris Pappas, along with other bipartisan leaders, sent a letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, opposing the potential sale of F-16 and F-35 fighter jets to Turkey. They argue that Turkey's possession of Russian S-400 missile systems presents a threat to U.S. national security and violations of U.S. law.

The letter emphasizes the lack of necessary certifications before any sale can proceed, citing specific restrictions included in both the Countering American Adversaries Through Sanctions Act and the Fiscal Year 2020 National Defense Authorization Act. The lawmakers called for adherence to existing U.S. law before any transactions with Turkey occur.

The bipartisan group of Congress members expressed concerns that circumventing these legal requirements would undermine Congressional authority and send a negative signal regarding the integrity of U.S. law. The letter has the support of several organizations advocating for U.S. interests and regional stability.
