"For Protection": The White House suggested to hand over to Greece tactical weapons - the media

According to the American senator, tactical weapons can protect Greece from the probable Turkish aggression in the future. US Presidential Administration Joe Baiden proposes to give Greece tactical weapons. About it writes Associated Press on July 11, with reference to an unnamed American senator. It is reported that the reason for this decision was the concern in the congress that Turkey will be behaved militarily against Greece.

"This proposal came at a time when the United States is trying to persuade Turkey - a key opponent in the desire of Sweden to enter NATO - to give green light to the Scandinavian country's candidature at NATO summit in Lithuania on Tuesday," the publication reads. According to journalists, representatives of the US Presidential Administration have tried to dispel some members of Congress with Ankara.

In particular, it is a senator of Robert Menendes, who stated that he doubted whether it is worth selling Turkey F-16 fighter. "In order to attract Mendes on board, the United States suggested giving Greece unaffected tactical weapons to protect against any future Turkish invasion," the media-democrat Senator-Democrat said to representatives. Recall that on July 11, the head of the US Senate of International Relations, Robert Mendes opposed the sale of Turkey of American F-16 fighter jets.
