[MMM-E]

Journalist: They want F-110 jet engines and F-35 fighter jets. Are you heading to Turkiye with a big gift package?

President TRUMP: I guess so, yes. Look, Turkiye is a NATO member. Some people don't see it that way, but it really is. A strong member of NATO. Yes, I'll probably do something that'll make them very happy.

Mark Rutte: Turkiye has a massive defense industry infrastructure. There are 3,000 companies operating across the Alliance and also in the United States. So, a strong partner.

The F110 engine has a market price of about US$5 million. So how much are the engines in this batch that the United States is selling to Turkey?

It is stated that an agreement worth $700 million for the supply of 80 F-110 engines to KAAN will be signed as a gesture from the Trump administration just before the NATO summit.

Each engine is estimated to be acquired at $8.75 million per unit.

One of the names blocking the transfer of F110 engines to Turkey has been revealed.

A source speaking to Reuters said that Gregory Meeks, a leading Democratic member of the U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee and New York Congressman, did not approve the sale of F110 engines to Turkey.

Meeks is at the forefront among the figures supported by AIPAC, which Israel uses to keep U.S. Congress members under control.

It needs to go through congress brother.

Its a very mess system where the legislative approval is needed, not just executive decision.

And there is corruption with foreign lobbies.

Trump is referring to the engines. He doesn't have the power to approve the export of F35s to Türkiye.

Vance is openly pointing out this fact but gets interrupted by the Orange.

So actual serious question because I really do hope KAAN becomes the Muslim and Arab countries go to fighter jet in the future but I was looking at similar engines online and Japan has prototype why doesn’t turkey look for a joint venture with a country like Japan

Because when we started developing the engine, Japan was "in hibernation", focused on developing its military-industrial complex and arms sales. Now, the TF35000 project has progressed to the point where it won't allow for technology-based participation. We can only allow cash-investing partners after this stage.

Furthermore, we know from the automotive industry that Asians aren't good at business and trade partnerships. Without exception, they all become difficult-to-manage partners when it comes to business and trade.

Learn the facts before you speak instead of barking like a dog.
China is the world's largest exporter, and East Asia is the world's largest exporting region. It's just that these countries don't like doing business with certain Muslim countries, nothing more.
In most parts of the world, doing business with Muslim-majority regions—apart from the Gulf countries—is generally not easy.

good news, TF35000 engine hast can be put aside and focus on quality.

Block 1 with GE F110 and Block 2 later with TF35000

First of all, I suggest you be polite. Dogs bark, people don't. If you call me a dog, I'll treat you the way you deserve from now on!!

Getting back to the topic, I'm talking about business partnership. I'm not talking about being an honest seller. Did I call Asians dishonest sellers? No, I didn't. They are very easy to establish business relationships with, but very difficult to do business with.
