U.S. President Joe Biden told Turkey's President Tayyip Erdogan his request for F-16 fighter jets had to go through a process in the United States and expressed a desire to handle disagreements between the two countries effectively.
Days after the NATO allies climbed down from the brink of a diplomatic crisis over jailed philanthropist Osman Kavala, Biden and Erdogan held a 70-minute meeting on the sidelines of the G20 summit in Rome, where Biden also raised the issue of human rights, a U.S. senior administration official told reporters.
"He also emphasized the importance of strong democratic institutions, respect for human rights, and the rule of law for peace and prosperity," it said. "The two leaders expressed their joint commitment to further strengthening Turkey-U.S. relations and agreed to establish a joint mechanism to that effect," the statement said.The two men also discussed Turkey's request to purchase F-16 fighter jets, which U.S. lawmakers have opposed on the grounds that Turkey purchased Russian missile defence systems.
