On December 14, 2020, the United States (
US) imposed sanctions on Turkey pursuant to Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (
CAATSA) for “knowingly engaging in a significant transaction with Rosoboronexport (
ROE), Russia’s main arms export entity, by procuring the S-400 surface-to-air missile system.”
Background
In July 2019, Turkey closed the purchase deal with Russia.
On October 14, 2019, in response to Turkey’s military offensive into northeast Syria the Office of Foreign Assets Control (
OFAC) of the US Department of the Treasury designated two ministries of the Turkish Government and three Turkish Ministers on the Specially Designated Nationals (
SDN) List.
On October 23, 2019, President Trump announced that he was lifting the October 14, 2019 sanctions against Turkey.
