US Congress questions Turkey’s alliance, says Obama
In his talk with Turkey’s Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, US President Barack Obama has warned him of a position that Ankara takes over Iran and Israel, the Israeli news agency reported citing the Financial Times.
Obama said that Turkey takes risks to lose Washington’s backing and will lose opportunities to buy American-made weapons.
“That what is happening in Turkey makes the US Congress doubt if it can trust its ally in the future,” said Obama.
Meanwhile, Turkey is reportedly going to buy American drones to fight the Kurdish rebels.
