However, the country’s Prime Minister issued a statement hours later declaring the agreements are ‘invalid’ as the purchase is yet to be cleared by the Ministry of Finance.

“Premier Pellegrini considers the contracts regarding the purchase of F-16 fighters signed earlier in the day by the defense ministry to be invalid for the moment, as the finance ministry still hasn’t approved the deal,” the statement said.
