Turkey will hold another round of meetings with defense giant Lockheed Martin Corp. to resolve a price dispute over new multibillion-dollar F-16 fighter jet orders, according to people familiar with the matter.

To help seal the deal, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan made a personal appeal to President Donald Trump about the F-16 Block 70 aircraft when the two met at the White House in September, the people said.
