In March, Acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan told Turner \u201cwe need Turkey to buy the Patriot.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After months of warnings, the U.S., in April, stopped delivery of F-35 parts to Turkey in retaliation for Ankara\u2019s decision to move ahead with the S-400. The aircraft&#8217;s delivery was planned for this summer, but the move was the first step toward actually ending the sale.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link

committee to review security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Turkey is set to buy 100 F-35As over the entirety of the F-35 program and Turkish companies are also part of the program\u2019s industrial base and play a role in sustainment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, after months of warnings, Washington stopped delivery of F-35 fighter jet parts to
