How will Turkey respond to US sanctions? | Inside Story

submitted by Marvin's Underground Evening Lectures on 12/06/21 1

It's been threatened with U.S. sanctions over the deployment of Russian S-400 weapons. Now Turkey says it is evaluating reciprocal action against what it considers a hostile attack. Turkey's military procurement agency has had its export licences and authorisations banned by the U.S. The organisation's top officials will also face asset freezes and visa restrictions. The long-delayed move comes as U.S. President-elect Joe Biden prepares to take office. Turkish President has said the sanctions won't stop his country from building up its defences. So, how will this play out between these NATO allies? Presenter: Hashem Ahelbarra Guests: Lawrence Korb, senior fellow at the Center for American Progress and a former Assistant Secretary of Defense. Fabrice Pothier, Chief Strategy officer for Rasmussen Global and the former Director of Policy planning at NATO. Yusuf Alabarda, security and defence analyst and retired Turkish Colonel. - Subscribe to our channel: aje.io/AJSubscribe - Follow us on Twitter: twitter.com/AJEnglish - Find us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/aljazeera - Check our website: www.aljazeera.com/ #AlJazeeraEnglish #InsideStory #Turkey #US
