“From the unprecedented: according to Pompeo, if necessary, Trump is ready for military action against Turkey (!). It has not yet been such that the United States threatened to strike at an ally of NATO. Sounds like rhetoric. Today I listened in Istanbul to Erdogan, the foreign ministers and defense of Turkey. It is unlikely that they will be able to frighten them, ”Pushkov wrote on Twitter.
As US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said earlier, Washington “prefers peace to war,” but if military action is needed, President Donald Trump is “fully prepared to take such steps.”
However, he did not explain what actions could entail a military response from the United States.
