WASHINGTON - U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo spoke with Turkey’s Foreign Minister on Saturday and expressed disappointment over the country’s acquisition of the Russian S-400 missile system, the U.S. State Department said in a statement. Washington had opposed Turkey’s purchase of the Russian missile defense system and threatened to impose sanctions. Since then, President Donald Trump has been unclear over whether his administration was planning such an action.
Several Republican and Democratic U.S. lawmakers on Thursday pressed Trump to impose sanctions on Turkey over the purchase.
I would say something snarky about winning but I'm just too tired of winning do that.
Is this about who gets to sell more weapons?
Buy USA missiles instead.
Yup, kinda messes up the potential money to be made by selling them F-35s. But hey, why would a government employee worry about that? (follow the money)
America to train PKK terrorists against Turkey, militarization of making impact in Turkey and the putschists protection in the United States, 🇹🇷 is not free to not selling weapons to terrorist organizations. 🇹🇷 people see America as a threat. realDonaldTrump SecPompeo VP
Pompeo is a big disappointment himself. It's time to fire him.
Ohhh tity boo boo...isn't the S400 superior to the patriot & THAAD systems
Balances are changing , do not worry , be happy with your president like us 🤪🤪🤪
Disappointed that this administration sucks at diplomacy? They suck at saber rattling too. And acting mature. But they do great at further enriching the complex. Not the troops nor vets, but what did Eisenhower know anyway...
US is fast loosing credibility and respect because of its motormouth president who utters indecorous diatribes
“Bashim”
Do not sell them those F35s!
Great diplomacy. Drumph's girlfriend puddy played you both. How many jobs will be lost when they shove the F-35 up your ass? Whats going on with our base in Turkey? Wait until Turkey takes delivery of Russian aircraft. Turkey has been our ally since 1947. Whats up?
Again, this administration gets played by Russia and with a NATO Allies. Everything is falling apart. Our mainland will be attacked and Trump will run like all dictators do. He is Don The Con.
Losing more allies. Keep it up and will have no friends except Israel
Turkey are very disappointed with USA , first they wanted to buy the Patriot missile, refused then brought it from another country, yet ye have no problem giving for free weapons to a designated terrorist organisation.
Stop saying that again and again. Do something about it!
Pompeo has made a career on being disappointed.
Jealous because WMDs are the last true American export product.
The Obama administration would never allowed this to happen.
Stop whining we are going to have to ask you to leave the cult
America losing business?
You like your boss are both fools and are being treated so.
Why didn’t anyone make a fuss when Greece did the same? I know they are small compared to Turkey, but it’s still significant.

This guy lies with a chubby face.
