In the letter, the MPs stress that “at a time when we must promote the unity of the NATO alliance, we must ensure that American weapons are not used for aggressive actions within the alliance.
To keep the amendment he had filed in the US defense budget bill that places restrictions on the ability of the Biden administration to sell F-16 aircraft to Turkey, the Democratic congressman Chris Pappas calls, through a cross-party letter of lawmakers led by him that was sent to the leadership of the House and the Senate Defense Affairs Committees.
In the letter, the MPs stress that “at a time when we must promote the unity of the NATO alliance, we must ensure that American weapons are not used for aggressive actions within the alliance.
