The past week must have been one of the worst for Turkey's arrogant President Recep Tayyip Erdogan as both the US and the EU, showing their frustration with his numerous unsavoury actions, decided to impose sanctions on Turkey.
This week the US Congress is expected to approve sanctions against Turkey for the purchase from Russia of the S-400 system worth USD 2.5 billion and this time President Donald Trump is not expected to oppose the sanctions, as he has been doing since 2017, when the Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions (Caatsa) act was passed, with an overwhelming majority in both houses of the Congress.
