US President Donald Trump met with Republican senators to discuss Turkey’s purchase of Russia’s S-400 air defence system
US President Donald Trump met with Republican senators Tuesday at the White House to discuss Turkey’s purchase of Russia’s S-400 air defence system.
He initially said that sanctions are not under consideration "right now" before later telling reporters "we are looking at it". Last week, the Trump administration began the process of removing Turkey from the F-35 fighter jet programme over its acquisition of the S-400 system in a major rift with a key NATO ally. The expulsion is slated to be completed by the end of March 2020.
US officials argued the Russian system would be incompatible with NATO systems and expose the F-35s to possible Russian subterfuge.
