KAAN talks take center stage

A key defense issue is set to dominate talks between President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and U.S. President Donald Trump at the NATO Leaders’ Summit in Ankara. Erdoğan says he will personally raise the KAAN fighter jet engine issue, expressing confidence that Trump will reaffirm his previous positive stance. Any progress could mark an important step for Türkiye’s fifth-generation fighter program and broader defense cooperation between Ankara and Washington.
