**US President Donald Trump stated in July 2026 that Washington would lift CAATSA sanctions on Turkey imposed over its 2019 S-400 acquisition, describing the move as removing penalties on a friend during bilateral talks with President Erdogan at the NATO summit in Ankara.** Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan confirmed parallel administrative and congressional steps were underway, building on earlier signals of mutual political will aimed at resolution before the November 2026 midterms. Lifting the sanctions targets the Presidency of Defense Industries and would ease export controls, potentially unlocking engines for Turkey’s KAAN fighter and broader defense cooperation. Separate statutory barriers persist under the FY2020 NDAA, which conditions F-35 transfers on Turkey no longer possessing the S-400, and reported talks to transfer the systems to a third party have stalled. Congressional oversight, lobbying by Turkish-American groups, and regional dynamics including relations with Israel and Greece continue to shape timelines, with trader consensus reflecting progress tempered by these procedural and legal hurdles.

On December 14, 2020, the United States imposed CAATSA sanctions on Turkey’s Presidency of Defense Industries (SSB) in response to Turkey’s acquisition of the Russian S-400 air defense system (see: https://2017-2021.state.gov/the-united-states-sanctions-turkey-under-caatsa-231/). On July 7, 2026 U.S. President Donald Trump indicated his intent to lift sanctions off Turkey(see: https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/trump-says-will-lift-turkey-sanctions-decide-selling-f-35s-2026-07-07/)
This market will resolve to “Yes” if the United States federal government issues a waiver, license, termination, revocation, or equivalent sanctions-relief mechanism lifting CAATSA sanctions on Turkey, Turkey’s Presidency of Defense Industries (SSB), or covered Turkish officials by the specified date, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise this market will resolve to “No”.
Actions which direct partial or full sanction relief will both qualify. However, qualifying actions must reverse, remove, waive, terminate, or suspend US penalties imposed on Turkey, SSB, or covered Turkish officials under CAATSA Section 231, in whole or in part.
Qualifying actions need not be permanent; temporary suspensions of sanctions will qualify. Relief issued for either entity-level sanctions or individual sanctions will qualify. The full removal of any CAATSA sanction imposed on Turkey, SSB, or covered Turkish officials will also qualify.
Actions affecting only separate legal restrictions, including restrictions on F-35 transfers to Turkey under the National Defense Authorization Act, will not qualify unless they also include a qualifying CAATSA sanctions-relief action. Mere statements of intent, negotiations, or announcements that sanctions may be lifted in the future will not qualify without issuance of a qualifying sanctions-relief action.
Once a qualifying sanctions relief action has been taken, this market will resolve to “Yes,” regardless of any subsequent revocation.
