Trump doesn’t see sanctions ‘right now’ on Turkey 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Agence France-PresseUS President Donald Trump said Thursday he was not considering economic sanctions “right now” on Turkey after its major weapons purchase from Russia. “We’re not looking at that right now,” Trump told reporters. Under a 2017 law approved by Congress, the United States is also required to impose sanctions over individuals involved in “significant” arms deals with Russia. Erdogan told Trump that he went ahead because previous president Barack Obama did not allow Turkey to buy the rival US Patriot system.
