The US State Department announced on Thursday that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was considering various economic restrictions and actions aimed at Turkey over its purchase of Russian S-400 missile systems, APA reports citing Sputnik International.
This comes after the US House of Representatives passed a resolution earlier this week in which it slammed Ankara's decision to purchase Russian S-400 missile systems and called on Ankara to cancel its procurement. Turkey, for its part, condemned the document, saying that it questioned the mutual trust between the nations.
Prior to that, Ankara vowed to take retaliatory measures if the US State Department introduced sanctions against the country over its S-400 deal with Russia.
In December 2017, Moscow and Ankara signed an agreement for the delivery of the S-400 systems; however, this move angered the United States.
