US senators draft bill to stop transfer of F-35 jets to Turkey unless it ditches S-400 deal
The bill on limiting the transfer of F-35 stealth fighter jets to Turkey was introduced by Republican Senator James Lankford, and co-sponsored by Republican Thom Tillis and Democratic Senators Jeanne Shaheen and is Van Hollen on Thursday.
The draft of the bill states that "no funds may be obligated or expended" to transfer the batch of F-35 aircraft to Turkey or intellectual property and technical data related to its operation and maintenance until a written certification is provided to Congress that Turkey "does not plan or intend" to go ahead with the delivery of the cutting-edge Russian S-400 surface-to-air missiles.
