What Trump said about Turkey’s purchase of Russian oil

During a White House press interaction, Trump was asked whether Erdoğan agreed to stop buying Russian oil, to which the U.S. president replied:

"I don't want to say that. But if I wanted him to, he would," Trump told reporters.

The White House chief also mentioned that the U.S. could easily reach a deal with Turkey on F-35 fighter jets, but Erdoğan needs to take certain actions, which Trump did not specify.
