Turkey Announce to Activate Russian Missile System
Turkey announces to activate Russian S-400 Missile System in April 2020. The second shipment of Russian Air Defense System S-400 has reached Ankara. While the first part of Russian Defense System arrived Turkey on July 2019.
Moreover, Turkey indicated to buy Russian jets Su-35 and Su-57 rather American F35 fighter jets. On the other side Trump take up this deal against its NATO Alliance.
Earlier, the United States threatened to terminate F-35 fighter jets deal with Ankara. This is in case Turkey did prevent going for Russian Defense System S-400.
President Trump thinks Turkey ditch U.S buying defense system from its arch-rival Russia. However, Turkish President Erdogan is determined to appease furious Trump over the Russian Deal.
U.S Turkey Tension
U.S Turkey relations have been facing an odd edge. Trump blames Former President Barack Obama for the conflict. According to Mr. Trump this just another careless handle of the former administration.
Turkey has sealed S-400 as well as troops training deal with Russia. Furthermore, Russian military troops landing in Ankara for training Turkish personnel.
This is another blow to U.S strategic aims, which may heat up Trump’s mind. This is why President Trump has not excluded imposing sanction on Ankara.
Imposing trade tariffs are the traditional tool of Trump, which he uses to control rival economies.
Since inside the White House, Trump has imposed more than $550 billions of tariff on China. While experts suggest the escalating timeline of U.S China trade war is hurting back U.S economy.
Turkey has already experienced the worst economic crash last year. Turkey had to face serious financial fall that occurred due to tariff imposed by the U.S.
