After Washington's threats to impose sanctions ... Turkish President: Don't be late ... You don't know with whom you are dealing

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, on Sunday, expressed his rejection of US threats regarding his country's use of the Russian S-400 defense system, challenging Washington by saying, "You do not know with whom you are dealing."

"America has procrastinated us in delivering drones for years from now, and we have manufactured them themselves," he added.

Denouncing the threat to impose US sanctions, he said, "If you want to impose sanctions, impose them, you have refused to hand over F-35 fighters to us." "We are not a tribal state, but Turkey," he said in a speech at a conference of the Justice and Development Party in Malatya.
