The US State Department has urged Turkey to dispose of the Russian-made S-400 missiles in its arsenal, warning that its continued dealings with Vladimir Putin’s regime could result in fresh sanctions under a federal law known as the Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA).
Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s government was previously sanctioned by the Donald Trump administration when it signed its initial deal to acquire S-400’s from Russia in 2017, taking delivery two years later.
