OREANDA-NEWS. U.S. President Donald Trump offered Turkish leader Tayyip Erdogan a $ 100 billion bargain with favorable conditions for the republic, as well as assistance in resolving the situation around the sanctions that Washington should impose against Ankara in connection with the purchase of Russian S-400 anti-aircraft missile systems. This was reported on Tuesday by The Washington Post.

According to her sources in the Washington administration, Trump sent Erdogan a letter last week listing these proposals, which should serve to improve US-Turkish relations.

According to the source of the publication, the Washington administration is now insisting that the S-400s are “not put into operation” so that they cannot “have access to communications and defense means of the American F-35 fighter.” In this case, Ankara may return to the program of creating multi-role fighter F-35 and avoid restrictions. American lawmakers are likely to criticize these proposals of the US president due to the fact that many congressmen and senators are in favor of introducing restrictions against Ankara under the law "On countering American opponents through sanctions".
