Germany's Chancellor Scholz is unlikely to approve Turkey's request to buy Eurofighter Typhoon jets due to diplomatic strains between Turkey and NATO allies. Turkey has made concessions to address NATO's concerns, including lifting arms embargoes and requiring Sweden to crack down on terrorists. NATO members have granted Turkey permission to ratify Finland's bid. The U.S. has endorsed Turkey's request to purchase $20 billion worth of F-16 fighter jets and modernization kits. Turkey's objections have delayed Sweden's bid to join NATO, but the current state of the bid depends on parliament's approval and potential ratification by Turkey's general assembly.
