WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. Senate on Thursday soundly defeated an effort to stop the $23 billion sale of F-16 fighter jets and modernization kits to Turkey, which President Joe Biden’s administration approved after Turkey approved Sweden’s joining the NATO alliance.
As voting continued, the tally was 61 to 10 against a resolution of disapproval introduced by Republican Senator Rand Paul.
