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.

AI Summary

This bill, known as 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 to Turkey, the transfer of intellectual property or technical data related to the F-35's maintenance and support, and the construction of storage facilities for F-35 aircraft in Turkey. However, the President can waive this limitation if they certify that Turkey does not intend to accept delivery of the S-400 air defense system from Russia. The bill also expresses the sense of Congress that Turkey's purchase of the S-400 system would constitute a significant transaction under the Countering Russian Influence in Europe and Eurasia Act of 2017 and would endanger the integrity of the NATO alliance and U.S. defense cooperation with Turkey.
