"According to Turkish officials familiar with the matter, the Turkish president will seek deals ranging from defence to energy worth tens of billions of dollars. Turkey plans to buy 40 F-35 jets, 40 F-16 Vipers and ammunition, including bombs and missiles, the officials said. The two sides are still negotiating the price of the F-16s, the officials said."

It really doesn't matter what Mr Trump would say or whether he agrees to reintroduce Türkiye to the F-35 clique or not.
In the end the Zionist lobby will get what it wants and he will succumb. Like the ones before him he's under the grip of AIPAC and other Zionist "NGOs".
In addition to that, Mr Erdogan is going to hold a speech at the UN assembly and it's going to be about Gaza. As usual, as soon as there are signs of thawing in the US-Turkish relations, he chooses to say something to piss off the Zionists who run the entire United States politics.

That being said, I find it important to speak for the injustice that is happening to Palestinians in Gaza and the illegal settlements in the West Bank and Jerusalem, but the timing is just right to sabotage any deals involving the US, Especially after the latest word sparring between Mr Netenyahu and Mr Erdogan.

The Israeli news outlets are voicing concerns about Turkish military power and the naval drills of Turkish-Egyptian navies in the East Med.

In conclusion, I say no matter how warm and positive the meeting would be, there's next to no chance that anything would change but I'd like to be wrong.

"Turkey had backed away from purchasing the F-16s and relayed this to US officials. Key members of Congress pushed back, telling they saw Turkey’s acquisition as a confidence-building step, my sources on the Hill said. From Trump’s remarks, it appears he will press Ankara to proceed with the deal — and Ankara has complied."

I expect a possible addition of the KC-46 to this list.

To sweeten the deal, there might be promises of Türkiye returning to industrial participation in the future TBD.

Contrary to others I do not think we are going to forego the purchase of the Eurofighter.

Because 1. I think it would do serious damage to the relations we have built with the Brits over the last few years especially after they put so much work into convincing Germany 2. Airbus might get slighted by this and it could have negative ripple effects on other projects also 3. I think the Air Force really wants a non-American Fighter in its inventory.
