Dina Titus introduces resolution to block General Electric engine sale to Turkey

Democratic Representative Dina Titus has initiated a formal parliamentary process in the U.S. House of Representatives to block a proposed sale of General Electric engines to Turkey. The initiative seeks to halt the notification sent by the U.S. administration to Congress regarding the potential $700 million deal. This sale is intended to support the development program of the Turkish KAAN fighter aircraft. Representative Titus argues that transferring this military technology to Turkey could destabilize the Eastern Mediterranean region. She further contends that Turkey has repeatedly issued threats against U.S. allies and NATO members. The resolution aims to trigger a joint resolution of disapproval to stop the transfer. The move marks the first formal congressional effort to oppose this specific transaction as of July 3, 2026.
