US ambassador to Ankara says Trump is moving closer to resolving Turkey's F-35 ban The close relationship between U.S. President Donald Trump and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has brought the countries closer to resolving issues that led to Turkey being kicked off the F-35 fighter jet program, the United States ambassador to Ankara said Wednesday. “The positive relationship between President Trump and President Erdogan has created a new atmosphere of cooperation, which has led to the most fruitful conversations we have had on this topic in nearly a decade,” Ambassador Tom Barrack wrote in a social media post.

US Ambassador calls Trump's letter to Erdogan "rude" & "inappropriate," yet stresses strength of US-Turkey alliance. A reminder that diplomacy often endures even through blunt exchanges. #USTurkey
