Trump Suggests Turkey More Loyal Than Unnamed Ally After Netanyahu Criticism
Breaking Points
Bibi RAGES Over Trump Turkey Meeting, DEMANDS REGIONAL HEGEMONY
What was said
"We have a better relationship with Turkey and Turkey's been in many ways much more loyal than other countries that we think would be loyal. So yeah, it's something certainly we would consider."
President Trump, when asked about selling F-35s to Turkey, stated Turkey has been more loyal than other unnamed countries, an apparent reference to Israel following Netanyahu's public campaign against the sale. The comment came immediately after Netanyahu spent 24 hours on American cable news networks lobbying against the Turkey arms deal. Hosts interpreted this as Trump directly rebuking Netanyahu's interference while Trump was meeting with Erdogan in Ankara.
