US still pressing Turkey to nix Russian missile purchase, official says


turkey united states(Worthy News) – The United States is still in talks with Turkey to get Ankara to “walk away” from the Russian missile defense system it bought, a senior State Department official said on Friday, but warned Turkey that the risk of sanctions over the issue persisted.

“There’s still work to get the Turks to walk away from the S-400s: be it turn it off, send it back, destroy it, what have you,” the official told reporters, speaking on condition of anonymity. “That is still an ongoing issue. We’re talking about remediating, readdressing, reconciling. That’s not off the table.”

Batteries of the S-400 began arriving in Turkey in July but have not yet been switched on, which the US official acknowledged. [ Source: Israel Hayom (Read More…) ]
