Washington [US], December 18 (ANI): Ankara's purchase of the Russian S-400 air defence system endangers the security of US personnel, warns US Secretary of State Michael Pompeo, said the State Department on Thursday.
"Secretary of State Michael R. Pompeo spoke this week with Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu to discuss the December 14 imposition of sanctions by the United States on our NATO Ally Turkey for its procurement of the Russian-made S-400 missile defence system, as required under the Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA)," said Principal Deputy Spokesperson, State Department Cale Brown.
