Trump–Erdogan Washington meeting could yield 250‑jet Boeing order and multi‑billion F‑16/F‑35 deals

President Donald Trump will host Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Washington on Sept. 25, where talks are expected to cover Boeing commercial-aircraft sales — including a reported 250‑jet Turkish Airlines interest — and efforts to resolve the F‑35 dispute alongside possible multi‑billion F‑16/F‑35 deals.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • A potential 250‑jet commercial order would materially shift OEM production planning and airline fleet strategy; similar White House‑tied deals have produced large Boeing commitments such as the Indonesia 50‑jet package (see past White House Boeing deals)
  • Resolving the F‑35 dispute could unlock major military procurement and sustainment business — see Turkey's push to rejoin the F‑35 programme and Lockheed's view of continued export demand — even as recent U.S. trade measures have already complicated defence purchases and industrial offsets (see Trump tariffs' impact on U.S. aerospace)
