US Senate reportedly discards amendments from its 2023 defence bill, eliminating restrictions, sought by two Democratic lawmakers, from potential sale of F-16 fighter jets to Türkiye
Amendments, reportedly dropped from Senate's version of annual US defence spending bill, sought to restrict Ankara from using the fighter jets against pro-US militants in Syria or"territorial overflights of Greece."
Two amendments introduced by Democratic Senators Bob Menendez and Chris van Hollen making potential F-16 sales to Türkiye contingent on a series of conditions were removed from the Senate version of the annual US defence spending bill, Anadolu Agency reported. Nearly 900 amendments submitted for inclusion in the bill continue to be discussed. No votes are scheduled until November 14 when the chamber re-convenes following a break for the US midterm elections.
After the Senate passes the NDAA, it will be made into a joint text with a previous version passed by the House of Representatives before it is sent to US President Joe Biden's desk to be signed into law.
