Context
In Turkey, Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said Turkey and the United States are taking steps to lift CAATSA sanctions. The move puts both governments and their diplomatic and defense relationship at stake, with sanctions pressure set against closer bilateral ties.
Removing the penalties could support diplomatic normalization, while retaining them would preserve a tool of foreign-policy pressure. Fidan said, "There is a strong will from both our president and President Trump."
