Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said he will meet Joe Biden in Glasgow during the global climate summit, where discussions will focus on how the U.S. can reimburse $1.4 billion Turkey paid to procure F-35 fighter jets.
“The most important item will be our F-35 issue,” Erdogan said late Tuesday, according to state-run Anadolu Agency, adding that he’ll talk with Biden at the COP26 that starts Oct. 31. “We will need to discuss with them how they will repay us.”
