President Donald Trump’s July 2026 announcement during bilateral talks with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan at the NATO summit in Ankara marked the clearest signal yet that Washington intends to remove CAATSA sanctions imposed in 2020 on Turkey’s defense procurement agency over its S-400 purchase. Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan and other officials have confirmed active joint working groups pursuing a waiver or termination, with both sides citing improved alliance ties and defense cooperation needs. Any relief requires formal executive action followed by a congressional review period, while separate statutory bars on F-35 transfers tied to S-400 possession remain unchanged. Recent U.S. sanctions on Turkish entities for Iran-related activities underscore that broader bilateral frictions persist alongside these defense-specific talks. Traders are weighing the pace of the waiver process against potential congressional pushback before year-end deadlines.

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.
