"The United States did not make a proposal for the Patriot complex as good as Russia did for its S-400," the Turkish leader said.
Mr. Erdogan also said that the deal to buy the air defense missile system was complete and could not be modified.
“We have an agreement, we have the will,” he said, confirming that Ankara had no intention of backing out.
The President also reiterated that Türkiye will form a joint group with the United States to discuss the disagreements between the two sides regarding Russia's supply of air defense missile systems to Ankara.
