US lawmaker looks to block F-35 Ankara sale in ongoing fallout over Turkish DC security brawl

‘A US congressman hopes to block the sale of F-35 fighter jets to Turkey over the ongoing fallout over an attack on protesters outside the Turkish ambassador’s residence in Washington, DC. The incident left 11 people injured; nine of whom were hospitalized.
Representative David Cicilline (D-Rhode Island), who serves on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, proposed the ban as an amendment to the 2018 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which was passed by the House Armed Services Committee last month, according to Defense News.
The House Rules Committee reported Friday there were more than 90 proposed amendments. The House is expected to take up the bill and deal with amendments next week.’
