Bill Summary

A bill to limit the transfer of F-35 aircraft to Turkey. This bill prohibits the transfer of an F-35 aircraft to Turkey and various activities related to such a transfer. The prohibition may be waived if the President certifies to Congress that Turkey does not intend to accept delivery of the S-400 air defense system, which Turkey has agreed to buy from Russia.

AI Summary

This bill, the Protecting NATO Skies Act of 2019, aims to limit the transfer of F-35 aircraft to Turkey. The bill prohibits the transfer of F-35 aircraft, related intellectual property or technical data, and the storage of F-35 aircraft in Turkey. However, the President can waive this limitation if they certify to Congress that Turkey does not intend to accept delivery of the S-400 air defense system from Russia. The bill also expresses the sense of the Senate that if Turkey purchases the S-400 system, it would constitute a significant transaction under the Countering Russian Influence in Europe and Eurasia Act of 2017, endanger NATO's integrity, adversely affect U.S. military operations, and increase the risk of compromising U.S. defense systems, and that the President should faithfully execute the sanctions under that Act.
