Biden makes coy comment about Turkey allowing Sweden's NATO bid as country demands American F-16 fighter jets
Fox News
President Biden responded to Turkey’s decision to allow Sweden to join NATO during a press conference on Tuesday. He also said NATO members would discuss Ukraine.
When another reporter asked Biden why Turkey ultimately changed its tune regarding Sweden’s membership, he responded with a smile: "What do you think."
Biden and Erdogan previously held conversations and are scheduled to meet again Tuesday evening as some of the Turkish president's demands remain unresolved. He has been seeking advanced American fighter jets – the F-16s – and a path toward membership in the European Union. The White House has expressed support for both but did not tie these issues with Sweden's membership in NATO.
