Washington, April 1 (AFP) Apr 01, 2019
The United States said Monday it was halting deliveries to Turkey related to the F-35 fighter jet program after the NATO ally bought Russia's S-400 missile defense system.

"Pending an unequivocal Turkish decision to forgo delivery of the S-400, deliveries and activities associated with the stand-up of Turkey's F-35 operational capability have been suspended while our dialogue on this important matter continues with Turkey," a Pentagon spokesperson said.
