Turkish, US defense chiefs discuss Ukraine grain export deal
ANKARA (AA) – Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar and US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin discussed last week’s deal to reopen Ukrainian ports for grain exports.
The discussion, which took place during a phone call came after Türkiye, the UN, Russia, and Ukraine signed a deal on Friday to reopen three Ukrainian ports – Odesa, Chernomorsk, and Yuzhny – for grain exports stuck for months due to the Russia-Ukraine war, now in its sixth month.
Akar and Austin also exchanged views on Turkiye-Greek relations, proposed US F-16 sales to Türkiye, the fight against terrorism, and other regional defense and security issues, the Turkish National Defense Ministry said in a statement.
