U.S. House backs measure that would restrict sale of F-16s to Turkey

  1. >The amendment would bar the United States to sell or transfer the jets to Turkey unless the administration certifies that doing so is essential to U.S. national security and included a description of concrete steps taken to ensure they are not used for repeated unauthorized overflights of Greece.

    >Senator Bob Menendez, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, who reviews major international weapons deal, has said previously he opposed the sale.

  2. Wouldn’t this put Sweden and Finland’s NATO applications in jeopardy since the US threw the jets in as a sweetener for Turkey’s approval (although I believe not in an official capacity).
