The US government has approved the $23bn (£18bn) sale of 40 new F-16 fighter jets to Turkey - a move that had been long delayed - after Ankara ratified Sweden's accession to NATO.
The deal includes modernization kits for 79 existing Turkish F-16s.
The US State Department told Congress it had also approved the sale of 40 F-35 fighters to Greece, costing $8.6bn.
Turkey ratified Sweden's NATO accession after more than a year of delay that caused tension in the alliance.
Congress now has thirty days to review each of potential deals and for their possible blocking.
