U.S.-Turkey relations

Turkey has warned the U.S., its NATO ally, of swift retaliation against an “unacceptable threat” of sanctions after Ankara began taking delivery of  new Russian S-400 missile defenses.

The safest way to save Andrew Brunson’s life is not to bow to Erdogan’s demands, but to make the cost of taking Brunson’s life too great for even Erdogan to bear.

Sixteen  years ago, Erdogan launched Turkey on a trajectory that is implacably hostile and antithetical to the very notion of a Turkish-U.S. alliance, let alone to continued Turkish membership in NATO.

If the United States approves a proposed law that would halt weapons sales to Turkey, the nation will retaliate, Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said Sunday.
