The US government imposed sanctions on Turkey over the acquisition and testing of the S-400 Russian defence missile system, further straining relations between the two Nato members.
The State Department announced the sanctions under the Countering America s Adversaries through Sanctions Act, passed by Congress in 2017.
It is designed to penalise any significant transactions with Russia. The estimated cost of the S-400 missile system is $2.5 billion.
Despite pressure from Congress, the Trump administration delayed sanctions on Ankara, even after the country installed the Russian system in July 2019 and began testing it in October. Today’s action sends a clear signal that the US will fully implement Caatsa Section 231 and will not tolerate significant transactions with Russia’s defence and intelligence sectors, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said.
