Why It Matters

US President Donald Trump, to a question about the removal of CAATSA sanctions that caused Turkey to be removed from the F-35 fighter jet program, replied, "I love Turkey. I always meet with President Erdoğan. As you know, he is my friend. I will always make him happy."

US President Donald Trump answered questions from members of the press as he left the White House for his visit to Alabama within the framework of the Republican Party's election campaign.

Asked what the next step would be regarding Iran, Trump said, "This would be big news for you if I told you, right? You'll see. Everything is going very well. Iran's situation is not good."

Asked about Europe's decision to release diesel stocks following demands from the United States, Trump said, "There is a lot of diesel in Europe and they will make a great contribution to the world. Likewise, we will not impose a ban on diesel exports. Very soon, as soon as the Iran issue is over, you will see oil prices fall to their previous level. Maybe even below the initial level."

US President Trump said, "We have a very good relationship with Europe. They wanted to do this because they have a lot of diesel. I said, 'It would be great if you put this on the market,' and they did it. This is the situation."

Asked whether the idea of ​​imposing an export ban on diesel was completely ruled out, Trump said, "We weren't going to do it anyway. I don't think we will. But Europe has done a great job. Because they put a lot of diesel on the market. They have it available. They use diesel at a much higher rate than others, and they do a great job."

When asked about the reason for the delay in lifting CAATSA sanctions against Turkey, Trump replied, "I love Turkey. I always meet with President Erdogan. As you know, he is my friend. I will always make him happy."

CAATSA sanctions were implemented in 2020 after the purchase of the S-400 air defense system from Russia, after Turkey's attempts to purchase Patriot systems failed, and Turkey was removed from the F-35 fighter jet program.

US President Trump announced that sanctions against Turkey would be lifted at the NATO Leaders Summit held in Ankara in July and said, "We do not want to impose sanctions on our friends."
