Ignore opposition, the US government advances military engine sales to Turkey.

The US government was recently reported to have formally notified Congress of its plan to sell dozens of fighter jet engines to Turkey, with a total military sales value exceeding $700 million. This move has been met with opposition from some Democratic lawmakers in Congress. According to Reuters on the 25th, the US State Department said in a notification to Congress on the evening of the 24th: "The US government is ready to issue export licenses for these fighter jet engines and has taken into account political, military, economic, human rights, and arms control factors."
