"The US Senate has voted to block transfers of the F-35 fighter jet to Turkey, reflecting increasing tension with a key Nato ally, in a move that could ultimately hold up the sale of 100 planes"
"A bipartisan clause added to the National Defense Authorisation Act — which was passed by the Senate on Monday evening by a vote of 85 to 10 — would prohibit the transfer of F-35s to Turkey until the secretary of defence submits a plan to remove Turkey from participation in the programme, which includes allocating production of parts to each country."
"The bill, which must still be passed by the House, could undergo further changes in the reconciliation process and is not expected to become law until later in the summer. "
"Lockheed Martin, the maker of the F-35, said it still expects to hand over initial F-35s to Turkey in a ceremonial exchange at Fort Worth in Texas on June 21, probably before the bill becomes law."
